How Not To Do A Webcomic

It can't all be peaches and cream, readers, for all the good webcomics, there must also be those that are generally unredeeming in their quality, ones that are just bad.  There are some qualities that define a good webcomic, and from my experience on the web, I'll list them here for your convenience:

Must update at least two to three times a week, if not daily
Must have either an engaging storyline, or throw continuity to the wind
If they are drawn badly, they must at least have good writing
However, this does not work reverse all the time, if a comic is written badly,
then even excellent drawing can't help it
The term is webcomic,  not webdrama,  these are meant to entertain
the reader, not make them wallow in sadness.  If your comic is full of angst and despair,
don't expect many readers

Think about these guidelines when reading any new comic, readers, and see how it stacks up.
