It is a gag-a-day, and is currently one of [=ComicFury's=] all-time popular webcomics, to the surprise of pretty much everyone. It is quite self-explanatory; [=MatthewJA=] cannot draw very well, but manages to still entertain his audiences with his jokes.

7	* AbandonedInfoPage: The old 'about' page specifically said that it would never be updated, before ironically being updated and this line being removed.
8	* AltText: Every comic makes use of alt text to convey additional jokes or to supplement the comic.
9	** If you don't think a comic is funny, look at the author comments to explain things. If it's still not funny, look at the alt-text. You'll have a 90% chance of laughing due to at least one of them.
10	* ArtEvolution: The later drawings are radically different to early ones.
11	* AuthorGuestSpot: On occasion, the author makes comments from within the comic which break the fourth wall.

21	** One of the things which makes the comic so popular is that MatthewJA also does guest comics for others.
22	* {{Homage}}: A number of times, but notably [[http://icannotdraw.thecomicseries.com/comics/14/ here]].
23	* HurricaneOfPuns: Many comics have a large number of puns, and <s>often</s> almost always, a 'pun-hurricane' will break out in the comments.
24	* IncrediblyLamePun: [[http://icannotdraw.thecomicseries.com/comics/3/ Here.]]
