This is just not funny at all. The art is terrible and the plot is...well, I don't even know if it is.
Stop.
For the love of all things good in this world, do not do more.
Sorry to be a hater, but this just is neither funny or pleasing to the eye. I can see that the other comment leavers agree.
I've never told anyone to stop drawing or creating, even artists that I personally disagree with vehemently. For example, I love your avatar, but I dislike the line drawings. I don't want you to stop drawing either type. Styles change, people change, and skills change.
What kind of humor do you like? What kind of shows, strips, comics, or web authors do you follow? I'm trying to get the vibe for the kind of humor furries enjoy, especially the ones that have to do with fetishes. .
And yes, I do realize that people get better over time. Bit I think that until that time, it would be better for both the artist and the viewer if you just waited until then. This one just is not funny. At all.
And also, while content is more important than exection, you have to have justifiable content. You at least have to have one.
Did you think that this one was funny? I certainly don't need feedback to know if things are funny. If you are a cartoonist and you require feedback on every strip that you do, then you will either fail, or get lucky with success. That's why it is so hard. There is little room for forgiveness for lame comics. You have to make good strips and you have to be able to do it over and over again.
You cannot rely on the feedback of others. Sometimes you just have to be able to look at a strip and tell if it's funny or not. If you rely on feedback, then too many people will see your dud comics, and that will dissuade them from reading others.
But we're getting somewhere. That last bit was actually a bit clever.
What we need to work on is presentation of naturally occurring wittiness and put that in comic form.
The primary message is actually what we're disagreeing on right now: tastes differ, and conflict begets humor. I'm inverting common jokes derived from one group of people's tastes disagreeing with another group's tastes. The BE one and the muscle one turn the "haters" joke around, but the hair horror one pretty much takes the non-subverted parody track that is inverted in the BE strip. I.e. "transformation is scary --> transformation is silly" in the hair horror; and "transformation is sexy --> transformation is scary --> transformation is silly" in the BE strip; and "boobs are sexy --> boobs are silly-->boobs are sexy--> muscle is scary--transformation is silly" in the interview strip.
Ever do any collab writing?
That is your problem, it seems. You think that humor can be put into a line of sequence or into an equation. IT simply can't be. This strip proves that no matter how hard you think about it, logic and reason have nothing to do with how much we laugh at something. Being funny is mainly spontaneous.
You can think about it, sure, but in the end, no mathematical reasoning will decide that something is funny. In the end, it's really just about how that individual joke is.
In that sense, squirrels are funny, but not everything that has a squirrel in it will be funny.
That's the whole point of humor. If it was as simple as that, then everybody could do it. There is no formula.
