Please tell me you joined the forums because you like the comics here, and not just to  plug your comic. Which looks to be just another sprite comic that uses Bob and George as a base for the Megaman characters.

Alright, so i checked out this "cah-mick" of yours.
My rating for it is:

*drum roll*
generic/10

Been there, done that, same-old same-old. Nothing worthy of a "new and exciting."

Welcome to the TUC forums.

My review of your comic: BLECH.
Ok, To start, your using Gif's, And your using them wrong and constraining the original color palette, along with making it all grainy and dirty. For seconds, Your balloons have no borders, I can't tell where the backgrounds start and the balloons end, except for those random 3-pixel lines everywhere. So to me it just looks like a bunch of hack-eyed unoriginally scripted text splashed here and there.

Oh, and if its your first post on a website, and your comic sucks, try to keep the cockyness to a minimum ok? Thanks. =)

Might wanna check this out. Proper balloons'll help a lot.

I'm actually half-thinking of changing the style of text bubbles in TUC after this. I never liked how the square ones looked. I prefer the circle ones.

My hand has gotten so still from spriting, personally I prefer the Square ones. Because I can grab the square box with the select tool and slap it on without all this circular-balloon transparent-background complications.

Though in the end I agree, rectangular with smoothed corners looks better. Its an awesome combination of a circle and a square. =)
