What Makes Funny Comic Strips Funny?

From the readers' perspective there are several ingredients that make funny comic strips funny. That is why a good idea for those planning to make comic strips is to look at existing graphic novels, comic strip websites and other humor dedicated vehicles to find out what already exists. Some do well and some don't and therein lies the story of humor that was successful and humor that wasn't. In fact, humor itself is all about making people laugh. What makes one section laugh might not really affect another section. So the target audience is just as important for funny comic strips.

One of the problems involved in case of most comic websites and comedy shows on TV is the use of clichéd jokes and themes. Uniqueness is the most important thing when you want to make a name for yourself as someone capable of good humor. The uniqueness can be achieved not only through the themes you pick for your funny comic strips but also through the uniqueness in delivery. For example some comic strip writers are popular for their sketches and humorous representations while others are popular for their witty remarks and funny dialogues.
