I am not as good at drawing a stick figure as Munroe of xkcd. That depresses me. But, I had some ideas and started trying them out. Let me know what you think!
Stick figures are just fine. It just has to be creative and unique. I like your sense of humour; keep it going.
I've been planning a webcomic on and off for a while. I can't draw for crap, either, and I very quickly decided to make fun of that fact as a part of the comic. It's a comic about a crappy comic writer named Geniac.
He's a crappy comic writer because he makes up or steals dumbass ideas and overuses cliches in his comic. He also can't draw for shit, so his comic has stick figures. He thinks that's fine "because that's what all the cool comics are doing now", not realizing that without some writing ability, his comic is still crappy.
It's self-referential in several regards. There are three levels of reality that have matching/mirroring characters. Lots of things that don't quite make sense. A slight lack of logic. Some surreal scenes. General goofiness like that that is meant to hurt your head.
I have 13 strips scripted and I've been working on character design, trying to come up with a style that looks ok and is also easy to draw.

So I branched into stick figure cartooning...

If it was a regular strip, I'd read it.
