How would you improve a bad webcomic? - AKA How would you polish a turd

[Pickle Dick]

Other than the obvious "never make it in the first place" et al, what are some ways you could improve a bad webcomic if you had control over it?

I'll take the infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del webcomic for example. We all know Ctrl+Alt+Del is to webcomics what Irate Gamer is to AVGN, a rip-off of a far better work (at least that the time, I don't what Penny Arcade is like now). Even if we'd to excuse that problem, there are still a lot of issues with the webcomic that makes it a gigantic mess.

My solution to the webcomic: If you're gonna try to rip-off/compete with Penny Arcade, at least make it stand out and focus solely on the gaming, and less on the silly "dramatic" segues that plague the webcomic. Also, have the characters be a tad more likeable and have better writing. It's not that hard.

By killing the person who made Homestuck.

Hard to say, many webcomics often have little to no redeeming qualities about them. Course CAD still has that issue of being so unnecessarily verbose in trying to get it's point across. Just as an arbitrary example look at today's comic: https://cad-comic.com/comic/looking-p5/

Now lets trim the fat:


Same point is kept across, just with a few less bubbles. Course this is really more of an issue with the comedic strips than this super hero(?) reboot here.

still twice as long as it has to be and I can taste the soy all the way over here from a guy that says things are fine while his throat is being crushed.

I wouldn't. Bad webcomics gave me many joyful hours.
If Lightbringer, Sonichu or Assigned Male were good, it would be much less funny.
Thex entertain many more people by being bad than they would by being good.
