What does COMIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Causing laughter or amusement; funny.
Comic covers anything from a single witty line to an entire performance built around getting laughs, and the same spelling doubles as a noun for either a stand-up performer or, especially in British English, an illustrated story magazine. Both senses share a Greek root connected to comedy and public performance. Comic sits lower on the scale of intensity than words like hilarious or side-splitting, covering mild wit as well as outright farce. In publishing, comic book keeps only the noun sense, naming a picture-story format rather than describing a mood.
How COMIC is used
Common in everyday and critical writing about humour, performance and illustrated stories; comic book keeps the noun sense of a picture-story magazine.
