I've never drawn a comic before and could use a brutal critique from people who know what they're doing. I'm lost and dum.

This is the first page of Jeffrassic Park:

Uh how many pages is this joke going to go on for?

Not sure. It's mostly to make me giggle and for practice.

The page design is really clean and colorful, I really like it!

The main thing that's bringing it down I think is the contents of the panels themselves--they feel kind of inert, and the angles/framing kind of random. It's a long way from unreadable, though.

Yeah I think that's where I was at with it too. If you crop out the top half it looks good enough for me to be satisfied with it. The top panels are giving me problems. My background is character and graphic design so character illustration like the blumasaurus is my jeremy jamm. Storytelling is where I need practice.

Do you have any suggestions for how I can make it less boring? Should I avoid the weird angles?
