As joking about German words works incredibly well in English, here's the original:
There you go. Now you can be sure that the joke's just as funny as originally intended.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That lettering is just terrible.
Yeah I still don't know what the word is because I couldn't read it in any panel it appeared in (assuming it was the same word each time, I have no idea)
Keck and kek
I thought this shit was about UwU at first, lmao.
yeah uwu was my guess on one of the panels as well
I find it easy to read, but in terms of constructive feedback I would try to write the letters larger. As there's a lot of whitespace in the speech bubbles, the text could be made quite a bit bigger without even needing bigger bubbles.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on that. Usually, the panels are meant to be looked at one by one, like a gallery that you swipe through or something, which would make the text bigger as well, but Lemmy doesn't seem to support that, so it's the full comic in one image, which may be part of that issue. But yeah, I'll try to improve the text.
I tend to tell myself that some day I'll improve my handwriting, but I guess I'd just rather just demand gallery-style lemmy posts to increase the size of the panels instead because that requires much less work than actual self-improvement on my side.
I assume you are the artist. I actually like your art style, colors and characters. The issue is the lettering makes your comic less accessible. I think you are losing potential audience for what otherwise would be a fun comic.
Yeah, I am. I'll work on that.
