myopicprophet , your comic is visually uninteresting boring and crappy, but hear me out . Nearly every strip shows characters with almost the same pose and expression and from the same angle from panel to panel. The jokes and art style are fine enough, but they could have so much more impact if done with a little more thought. Use your characters' positions to show emotion instead of just dialogue. Try breaking your standard "medium wide shots and slightly closer shots" formula. And for the love of god change the angle of the scene so that the audience doesn't have to stare at the same few faces and their mirror images. A visually dynamic comic strip keeps the reader's attention.
Calvin and Hobbes is one of the best examples of this. Take a look at this strip: cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1025875/bill6.gif Notice how each panel is a slight variation of essentially the same scene. Bill Watterson, the artist, keeps the angle and composure of each panel varied so as to never lose the reader's interest.
Even strips not typically known for dynamic movement usually do something to mix up the images. Dilbert, for example, will usually include one a shot from outside the building in its longer strips. static6.businessinsider.com/image/525db7cdecad041735d61f41-1200/september-2010.jpg I can tell you were going for something similar in this strip's 2nd panel, but changing the background color doesn't vary the image enough. Dilbert's "outside" panel #6 in the example totally changes the subject and color scheme to contrast with the rest of the strip.
But I'll give credit where credit is due. You do occasionally churn out something pretty good. Like this: /channel/oc-comic-makers/Simulated+reality/gXmcLtK/ The perspective changes slightly panel to panel and the final shot changes the subject. It's decent. But this: /channel/oc-comic-makers/Star+wars+battlefront/MbgeLZo/ takes it to a whole new level. The perspective changes from extreme close up, Vader out of frame, to wide over Vader's shoulder to medium facing both characters. The lighting shifts subtly from green to blue to pink. The rebel soldier is so expressive, you could remove the words and still get the story. This is an excellent comic. Just, make more like that, okay?
TL;DR myopicprophet's comics would be less boring if they weren't so samey.

I prefer the good ol' classic right there in front of me boobs. Don't try selling me this ******** about side boob or cleavage being better than the straight up classic. Are they still good? Of course, I maintain my advocacy that tits are what matter here, but don't tell me one angle is better than another when it comes to boobies.
