The character dialogue seems to be picked on the spate of ludicrous randomness. The form itself is different from the randomness of, say, Monty Python, by the clever and well done set-up and the contrast between the expected result and the actual result being the thing thats so funny. The Ludicrous randomness can't get that, because theres simply no build up, no active expected result - w know something random is going to happen, and so its not as funny because its not unexpected.
A practical example we all know - the Lumberjack song. When he begins, its the epitomy of manliness, but as it goes by, he says that he's a crossdresser, but says it with that same kind of pride. But as we were expecting on a number of levels for this to be one of those old timey-musical interludes, the confession came out of nowhere. Here we have a man dressed like a Ninja with a crab on his shoulder - we already know its random, so more random isn't going to be funny.
While I appreciate the thought you've put into this, you've missed the point.
I've always been a Ninja with a crab on my shoulder, it's my avatar, If I put the Iron Ninja into a comic, that's what he's going to look like.
And in all honestly, humour isn't my primary goal here, the story comics are meant to be just that, a story, I highly doubt anything in them is ever going to make anyone fall of their chair, a bemused smirk will do just fine.
Besides, the last story comic was more of an introduction to the characters than anything else.
And as for the character dialogue seemingly being picked on the spate of ludicrous randomness, well I'm sorta making things up as I go along, so it's not going to be that coherent a lot of the time.
But I do apologise for not being Monty Python, I should have considered this before I started and you have my heartfelt thanks for pointing it out.

anyway, I have one question for you your ferrousnous. Why does Gerald only have six legs when regular crabs have eight?
Because Gerald isn't a regular crab.
Also because the first time I drew him I gave him only six legs by accident.

The last time I was in an RP was probably in March
Fine, I'll revise the statement,
"As well as the people I've already said are going to be featured, I'm eventually going to get around to including all the major RP fellows."
Better?

Just throwing it out there but, how about sticking another food-orientated Ninja in there? ;D
That would make a really awesome tag team.
