Why is there so much setup just to tell a bad joke?
First frame is irrelevant.
Second frame text could be reduced to fit into the third frame.
Third frame is just there to warm us that we're about to hear a bad joke.
Fourth frame tells the bad joke, and then assure itself that it really was a bad joke.
If you really wanted to tell a Village People joke, why not put it in one frame? Have those three uniformed people walk up to the counter and Bear can say their joke.
I think the long setup kinda adds to how bad the joke is. I'm not sayong this comic was good, but the fact it was so bad you wrote a comment about it's many faults shows it sparked SOMETHING in you.
A better, yet still mediocre, comic would have done nothing to you.
Keep it up OP!
I interpreted the third frame as a misdirect that the joke was going to be anticop, but then it was relatively neutral.
