Trying a new comic strip, which I’ve posted here.
Not only do you get to see my strip, but you get to see the comments (pro and con) other cartoonists make about it!
Let me know what you think.
That’s not a comic strip…it’s some sort of art workshop webpage.
Your website logo reminds me of an old KMFDM music video.

“KMFDM is a Drug against War!”
Maybe he means here.
Comments:
Overall: I yi-yi. Me no like. I’m in accord with the politics, but you’re attacking straw men (although admittedly there was a report out of Saudi Arabia some years back where a religious anti-vice operation interfered with fire fighters at a women’s dorm).
That said, comic strips are a tough medium, IMHO. I doubt whether I could do better (actually, I’m pretty confident that I couldn’t do better).
Strong points: The facial expressions were appropriately deadpan (not exaggerated). Some artists seem to feel that if the expressions are zany-hilarious, then the comic will be as well. No: the comic will be merely tedious.
Keep at it. I’m not sure whether there’s a related (or unrelated) absurdist approach that could work. Perhaps absurdism needs to start from a plausible premise; I’m not sure.
