still not funny. in fact, most things that are funny consist of a set-up and a punchline. the tradition dates back to ancient greece, you know--billions of earthlings can't all be wrong.
as a matter of fact, let's see what merriam-webster has to say on the subject:
quote:
com·ic
Pronunciation: 'kä-mik
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin comicus, from Greek kOmikos, from kOmos revel
Date: 1576
1 : of, relating to, or marked by comedy
2 : causing laughter or amusement : FUNNY
3 : of or relating to comic strips
synonym see LAUGHABLE
now, if my perception isn't amiss somehow, the only way that any of these so-called nihilistic comics pertains to this definition is the "synonym, see LAUGHABLE" part--but i don't think that's the connotation of LAUGHABLE that mssrs. merriam and webster want us to see in this case.
if only when you clicked on "make a comic" there could be an error message that says "this isn't a comic, fuckbucket."
now, i don't mean to imply that you folks aren't wonderful people, nor necessarily unintelligent, it's just that if you want to make a point about your own personal weltanschauungen, or whatever, a very good way to make sure it doesn't fall on deaf ears--or deaf eyes, as it were--is to bring the ha-has. there's a reason why i started skipping "for better or worse" so many years ago: comic strips that aren't "comics" are more often than not festering, steaming piles of goat shit.
