Help me improve my comic ad

Go for less text. More http://www.smbc-comics.com less http://www.qwantz.com/. The current template requires way too much.

I am pretty sure the technical term is 'excel ninja' and not 'excel kung fu' too. But I guess that was the punchline? I am just confused.

Maybe some work place humor? My 1 minute half baked attempt would be something like...

"With Query Cell, I've pumped up excel power user level to over 9000! It takes me half the time to run my daily extracts. Now if only I could figure out how to save on this new ribbon feature."

Okay, okay okay... I tried!

I agree with this being too long. When I see an ad which is a comic I instinctively expect it to be cheesy which is the impression I got with this. One panel might work if it is silly enough (SMBC style) or maybe 3 panels if you think up a good pun/punchline.

Thanks joez,

Of course! how did I miss adding a ninja reference :)

The links definitely make your point about the amount of text :)

I think the main problem is that there ISN'T a punchline.
