I think most would agree that you should use a different font. I remember reading a lengthy article a while ago putting down the use of ComicSans in actual comics. The general consensus among comic-bookers, I believe, is that ComicSans, which I think this lettering is, is a big no-no. The art is ok but it's a tad boring since the same drawing was used for every panel. That's the obvious criticism that I'm sure you can defend by saying it's done often in other comics. The drawings also look stiff which is partially due to the drawings looking as though they were done solely on the computer but also because there's little variation in the characters expressions and postures. The idea is funny enough. I rarely laugh at "funny" comics so I'll refrain from comments on that aspect of your comic.

Now I remember where I saw the criticisms against ComicSans. I did a google search of ComicSans and the first site to pop up on the list was bancomicsans.com. I'm watching the video now. I only read about this so seeing the website is kinda funny.
