Capturing “dumb” or absurd ideas in comics to make people laugh is a skill that many comic artists master, often through a combination of creativity, wit, and a deep understanding of human nature. Many artists draw inspiration from their everyday lives and observations. They keenly observe situations, conversations, or behaviors that strike them as ridiculous or absurd. These observations serve as a rich source of material for their comics.
Clever wordplay and puns can be a source of humorous comics. Artists twist language and exploit its multiple meanings to create unexpected, funny connections. Comic artists have a knack for setting up a scenario that appears to be heading in one direction and then delivering a completely unexpected punchline or resolution. It’s this element of surprise that often leads to laughter.
