I like the pace and the format. Keep it up!

One thing that bothers me a bit is that the word bubbles are transparent... seems like a white bg is always good policy.

So do you go from top to bottum or side to side?

I'm pretty sure you go from top to bottum.

I like it. Cool little comic. Can't wait to see more.

For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it.

Yeah, works both ways, tho it feels a bit different depending which way it's read...
Kinda bothers me that the pic doesn't change. Comics are a visual, time-based medium. Your script would read the same if it was just dialogue. Having the visual component allows u to add to your message, adding new meaning or just some visual narration. Don't lose track of the storytelling aspect.

And yeah, I know Clowes does this all the time. But he's him, and you're not yet. :P

Very well said. Did you ever read Scott McCloud's book on understanding comics?
