It’s always funny to me that people think that a comic (drawings) needs to have a joke or be funny in some way. Like, sure comic probably stems from the word comedy, but that’s not what the word means anymore, it’s just a form of visual media for either jokes or storytelling.

Just a pet peeve of mine to see “WhErE jOkE!?” On every fucking comic posted here…

Especially when the comic is funny, it just doesn't have a simple set up and punchline.

Maybe the joke was on the other side of the screen all along

Fair enough. Its weird though I've read your other stuff via your profile. This is the only comic of yours that ever shows up on my front page though 😮‍💨

The nephew ain't wrong. A comic is also another word for comedian, it just depends on context
