Can You Understand The Joke Now?

[DiscountedArtist]

I made a topic asking people if they understood a joke. Some didn't, some did and gave me feedback to improve the comic. I wasn't happy with the comic myself, so I took the tips and remade the comic. https://tapas.io/episode/1782146

EDIT: Here's a newer comic: https://tapas.io/episode/1783148

you should try to find a generally popular media and refer to it for jokes. Some jokes just don't make a whole lot of sense to any other than the person that wrote it!>_< Also if you have to explain the joke it loses it's funniness.

This pun made me groan lol

I guess the build up makes more sense but I still don’t get why he is catching bat poop.

It took me a minute, but I got it. After I got it, I liked it.

I saw both versions, I understood both...but the thing is I didn't find them particularly funny. I really don't want to be mean, sense if humor is very personal. I feel like something is missing. The puns seem a bit weak.

Looking at your comic it seems to be about light hearted gags. But you also make jokes about porn, Coronavirus and eat bat s**t. Usually that content needs darker humor or less childish puns. I'm not saying you need to be an edge lord​ just that it is undefined who is the target that would get the jokes, Kids? Adults? Kidults?

I respect a lot that you are asking for opinions and changing things to make them better!

Thanks, I like LoadingArtist's comic's, and he does both light-hearted and dark humor. He separates them, though, which I should start doing. He's done very bloody comics with cursing, but he's also done very light-hearted comics with puns, which I was going for in this one. In this one, I think I should've used the pun differently though, like how I did in "In My Sleep."

Hi. I saw this comic in another thread. Checked it out and loved the first few jokes enough that I subbed. Though I'll be honest, the last joke was a bit of a miss. I got the joke, it was a pun on the phrase "off the bat", but it was too simple, as if the pun itself was doing all the work. I prefer the jokes of the second and third strips. Those were unexpected and made me laugh. In fact, I think I subbed because I was hoping to see more jokes like those two. You should figure out how those jokes did well and replicate it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do more like those two.
