    Can comics just be funny? Why does everyone have to try and make some deep political point?

      Have you ever considered that people who do their best to look away from bad things happening are, in fact, enabling those events in the first place?

      Try being more involved in the world around you. Who knows, you might make it a better place.

      Can comments just be funny? Why does everyone have to try and make some deep point?

      Really though why should a broad medium like comics need to be limited in tone and theme? Just because you like unserious comics? Serious comics don’t stop those from existing.

          The Divine Comedy

          Words come to mean different things at different times. Ever read a “comic book”? Not all (or most) are funny. Cartoons in newspapers have historically been all over the place in mood but been referred to broadly as comics or funnies. The name implies a format, not a mood.
