I've got an idea that could increase your ratings. Try coloring your drawings, putting in more detail, and character movements between frames. Or any of a thousand other things to make the comic a more visually impressive and powerful medium. Really, I think this would make a big difference. I'd be happy to help you with coloring, although you're probably more proficient with Photoshop than I am...
Well, anyway, I think putting a little more time into the comic could make it a lot more popular. A lot of comics get by on artistic talent alone, rather than any sort of plot or humor. You've got the humor down great, and some pretty decent drawing too. Improving the latter could really take Paradigm (or its future incarnations) places.
Just my two cents.
