I like them as is; the style at least. You CAN do some to pretty them up.

Do i draw them on paper first and then scan them?
That's one way to do it. As has been mentioned above, there are many. For B/W comics, there are two ways I like:
a.) Pencil-on-paper, then go over it with ink. (NOT a sharpie, generally; unless you want real thick lines they bleed too much). For a cheap inking solution, grab a "uni-ball" pen :-p.
Pro: Cheap, easy, and simple
Con: If your hand slips, you can't undo it...
b.) (And this is what I do when I do B/W): I have adobe photoshop, which has this neat thing called "curves" which basically allows you to make the dark parts darker and the light parts lighter. I draw it in pencil, then use the curves thing to "ink," leading to dark lines and not much excess stuff. Any excess is easy to see, and thus easily erased.
Pro: You can play around with the settings to get the perfect amount of darkness
Con: If the "perfect amount of darkness" doesn't happen to be generated by the settings photoshop can handle, tough.
Regardless, once you get it into the computer, get a white brush/pencil/whatnot and erase all the extraneous doodles.
One other thing: any WORDS, unless you can write INCREDIBLY NEAT, put them in on the computer. ^_^
