All you have are the same poorly made comics that you posted there. The ones where you can't read the text except in the completely out of place comics that don't make any sense. In fact, the best thing you've made was that banner warning us that your comic is bad for our health: which so far it is.
He did in Agentcel's contest and it shows no signs of improvement. The sprites aren't bad for recolors but after seeing what he posted in the contest, he needs to vastly improve before making anything new. Unless you enjoy reading these things:

Sorry, I forgot about that one. I must say though, it does show some (very minor) improvment. Kirby, you don't need to give up entirely, this one at least looks a little better. Aside from the lack of word bubbles or a well-chosen text style for easy reading, I think your biggest problem is content. Don't try to write a comic around a picture. Think of a joke first, think of something that could work if it was written out in a script. Once you have an actual joke, create a scene that will best convey the atmosphere you had in mind when creating the joke. Just try doing some comedy with stick figures first. If you can't tell a good joke or create an interesting dialogue, no image will help.

Thread reference ftw!
Any way...kirby, like a couple other guys are saying...don't give up! Keep entering in my comic contests, and look and some of the pages they've linked you to! You'll improve very fast ^^
yeha I'll stay with the orginal idea I'm working on it with Paint.Net
It is still way too small. Resize the backgrounds and characters by at least 200%. Maybe 300% but cut out parts of the background you don't need. This will also give you more room for text, which needs to be bigger so it can be read. Also, never use colored text in place of text box tails to tell who is talking. You can use both (just make sure the text is a dark color on a white BG so it can be read), but not just colored text. Especially picking the colors you chose... Who the hell do the yellow and blue texts belong to? I only see a red and a black and red guy in there. Oh, and about the sprites. What's with the white border on some of the poses? Can you post the sprite sheet you got those from so I can take a closer look at it? I don't know if it's the sheet's fault or your fault, so I can't help you.

Start learning how to make a comic look decent there, and once you've done that, read this:
http://www.fragile-minds.com/crashnbass/donts.html
It'll give you some more tips to make your comic better.
Read some other comics, break out some print comics, look at the usage of space, how text is handled, and try to find a way to make your own style.
Bad ones really get slammed.

I don't know what you mean by "your reference" but I did refer you to some helpful guides, so...
leaf green/fire red or gold/silver/crystal
Use the Gold/Silver ones if you want to stand out. GBA Pokemon sprites are way overused.
You'll post with updates, right? I'm eager to see if Mcj's resources taught you a thing or two. I like the Paint tutorial, I've seen it before.
What program are you using, Kirby?

Anyway, I'd say go with the 2nd generation sprites, too. It'd be a nice change from all the crappy comics that rape the 3rd gen graphics.
