Oh, let's see.
I think, I can do fine without it.
But why do you say "once again"?

Just because I recommend that book to anyone who does comic strips. It's like Yoda always saying "Learning you must, patience you need."  ;)

I have tried to get a copy of it ever since I saw a small extract at a comic book store in Aachen. It's really a unique thing, a book about comics, written as a comic. If you ever run across it, don't hesitate to pick it up!

Oh, ok, let's see.
Thank you.

Everyone will have their own reaction. I was just giving you my honest impression.

Even if you don't change the joke, I think the problem is that the punchline is given away in the 5th frame. That's why I recommend cutting it, or maybe you could change what the boy says so you don't give away the joke (maybe to something like "Do you like movies?").

I do like the unexpected twist, but the delivery suffers.

Yeah, I know, I just said, that it evidently is funny.
However, I like it the way it is, because the boy says something rather absurd like "We could approach each other on a field", and the girl even says yes, and boing, they're doing it. (No pun intended!)
You know, they consider it like it was normal thing to do.
So, IMO, when I cut the 5th frame, I'd just copy the cliché and you'd wonder: "How did that happen?!?"

Well... I got every one of them, but I could'nt seem to find any of them funny. Sorry to say, I just find them boring. As someone else said, you should try to make the punchline surprising and unexpected. Not only to make jokes funny, but also to make the story interresting.

Tom S. Fox

You sure, you read all of them?
Because some of them doesn't seem to load anymore.
However, I did try to do everything you said.
Don't know, what you don't like.

vict0r

Yeah, I read all of them. Sorry if offended, just thought you wanted some critique :)
