Hate to break it to ya, but the reason your comic isn’t selling is because it reads like you’re chewing on unsalted crackers and your readers are wondering “who wrote this?” while picking up the next comic to read.
Your script is good, but it has no spice, no flavor, it’s just begging for a little Cajun seasoning.
Don’t let lack of seasoning, be the reason why your comic doesn’t hit the bestselling list!
Start seasoning your comics at:

Figure out how to:
Spice It Up: Add flavor to your dialogue so your characters don’t sound like cardboard cutouts.
