Welcome to... Who Wants To Be A Guinea Pig?

I've been contemplating the thought of a plotless, humourless webcomic for some time. I'd have it featuring such comical marvels as a badly drawn Jesus bearing the cross, with a caption that read 'Bear with me, here.'
One part of it I did is this line of Spiderman-related riddles, which were made up as a result of something in my physics book that looked like Spiderman.
Hey, I'm failing physics, and I need something to keep my busy during class, so...
Anyway, I've gathered all these up, uploaded them, and even wrote the answers down for your amusement. What I want to know is... Do you think this might actually work as part of a webcomic? Do you think a webcomic with such a level of humour could work? Would YOU (Yes, YOU) read it?
Remember, I suck at drawing characters, so there's probably going to be no plot for a while if this actually goes through. I do have something in mind, but I won't tell you what it is, for fear of acually having to do it if any of you like the idea.
Anyway, here's what you're supposed to be amused at: <a href="http://darnn.lordcyrus.com/h.html">The Spiderman Thingy</a>.

Darnn, your right.
Most of 'em suck.
some of the first are great, but after the first 4-5 the level drop.

I don't think you should make a cartoon right now, maybe when you are ready (now i'm sounding girlish).

What exactly does "They think they're indie" supposed to mean relating to Radiohead?

I actually like it, although I never once guessed.

I dont have a clue what the hell that was about. The only one I understood was the spider sense one, though I didnt work it out, of course.

Actually... I just needed something to write there. I figured that anyone who doesn't know Radiohead well enough would think that Kid A and Amnesiac are supposed to be 'indie'.

I guess so, but I'd say they're getting closer and closer to the boundaries of progressive rock... Anyway, I think about half the pics are good, but the concept could get irritating. But doing an experimental webcomic is meritworthy, as there are so many normal ones out there.
