It's a really cool strip dude, but I got some advice on how to make it look a little neater. Not that I'm critacizing it's appearence, you only have to look at my cartoon to see that I ain't neat at all.
1) Use a ruler for the frame of the strip, and a big black marker to give it good contrast.
2) Ink it. My way is ink all the line art, then wait about 20 minutes before erasing the pencil, otherwise the ink will come off and look patchy.
3) You
really need to scan it. If you ain't got one, try going to a copy shop. They usually have them.
Hope that helps dude, because that strip is looking damned good.
I'm sure Dave will like it too.

(1) I did used a ruler...when it was still in pencil the reason why the frames looks wiggly is because i want it wiggly but i think i WENT overboard with my huge permanent marker
(2)What kind of materials should i use? sofar the thing looks patchy because i used a crappy Ballpoint Pen.
(3)Will Try it next time ^.^
and hehe thanks for liking it

( i thought it was crap lol)

I use ordinary tech pens for my strip, but I've seen others using paint brushes (DCS for instace), those fiddley computer tablet doo-dahs that I hate so much.
You can pick up a Steadtler tech pen for about a couple of dollars most likely.
I'd use a 0.3 for the eyes and fine detail, and a 0.5 for the other lines.

I have a pen tablet. It sucks. Don't try one of those, they are a waste of money in my opinion.
Tech pens are a good choice. The cheapest, and the easiest to use.

Very nice strip! I'd third the tech pen suggestion. That's what I use most of the time. Of course, I've never used Photoshop or anything similar to it in my life, so I kind of use them by default ^-^;
