Ummm...where to start? Well there only is a start.
I am a fan of morbid humor, so I like the last panel.
The problem with hand drawn strips that haven't been polished up in Photoshop or some other photo editing software is that the art needs to either be quality work, or the art work needs to be secondary to the text (XKCD being the best example that I can think of). No offense, you can already draw better than I can, but you'll need a compelling story line to carry the strip while you practice. While the characters look nice the perspective is distorted which gives the strip an amateur feel. I'm not trying to be mean, just constructive criticism.
Sorry for being so general, but I can't wait for you to post more so that I can see where you go with it. The problem with ideas is that you can never be sure until they are actually put into practice. Sometimes a ridiculous idea that is carried out well can be very successful. Here's hoping that your kooky idea of world domination turns out to be one of those! ^.~

I really can't say much that hasn't already been said, but I do like the way your comic seems to be going. Photoshop is definitely a good tool as are tablets, your cheapest (& smallest) Wacom costing around $100 once you add in tax.
But before I forget, please make a post in the thread a few below this one giving a link to this thread and the title of your comic so that it can be added to the thread list. 3nodding

ButtonsAvenger thank you too! i own a table but im not good enough to do anything other then head shots with it yet. It definitely takes getting used to when moving from your basic paper/pencil drawings to working with a tablet. 3nodding Everytime you work with a new media it's a learning experience, which makes it interesting!

I'm going to suggest that while you're doing it by hand, just using a ruler to straighten out the lines can go a long way. Also, try to erase the pencil under your lettering after you've inked them and the whole thing will feel a lot cleaner.
Otherwise, defiantly keep it up. It's all about practicing and figuring out what works and what doesn't.
