I like it, it's funny.. But your frames could be better placed.

You ruin it by shoving the joke into the reader's face in the middle of the comic, making the subsequent frames useless and killing the humour.

I think removing that middle frame altogether would solve this and improve comedic timing.
This adds shock and surprise to the 'man swings axe' frame which is then balanced by the absurdity of the final one, adding another layer of humour.

My two cents.

Nice drawings. They were awesome because how realistic you made the characters look. Maybe you could make a background or something. The guy freaked me out O_O

I do agree that the black box gives away the clue, can kind of ruins the surprise. But without it it's not too far fetched I think. You could solve this by use as a slogan in the last frame "cutting costs since 1832" or something like that....

Well it's meant to specifically point out it's for killing your family.

Otherwise the joke's more like "kill random people in the hopes of cutting your bill.. for some reason..."

Personally, I think it would do better with a scene that implies it's the family, and if you must keep the black box, the word "fucking" seems thrown in there unnecessarily kind of kills the funny.

you should but the price of an axe in there some where

like "99 cents or 15 easy payments of 6.6 cents"

Since we already see the world in three dimensions, I started wearing 3-D glasses around so that I could see things in 6-D... The sixth dimension is blurry and discolored.

I like it. But yeah, the paneling needs work.
Macs have an automatic panel generator thing. Perhaps you could use it for inspiration?

Hah, Thanks, good point.
Thanks for making the effort to actually photoshop it, I see what you mean.
Regarding the other stuff people are saying, It's been a while since I made a comic so, yeah, looking at it the mechanics are definitely off.
Thanks to everyone for all the input, it really helps.
