30 Days of Winter: Day 27 - Funny Comics *Master Post*

[kingrockwell]

Welcome to day 27 of scans_daily's 30 Days of Winter celebration. Sorry it's so late, but today's theme is Funny Comics!

In 1982, What If #34 was an all-comedy issue, full of more pitches than they could've made into full issues. Here are a few samples, about 8 of 37 pages.












So, what are your favorites?
And stay tuned tomorrow, when we'll be discussing Horror Comics! As always, you can see our full schedule to be sure you don't miss a day.

ok for some reason Scott and Jean going to see Ordinary People has me lolling

Favorite funny comic for me is Azumanga Daioh. Every time I pick up my omnibus it's near impossible to put down (the dream sequences! "Hawk! Eggplant!").

I LOVED this.

Funniest of the funny for me, forever, is Nextwave.

Yay, Alpha Flight meets Great White North!

I think its funny that most of the people from the Howard the Duck DID end up on Pet Avengers (Hell Devil Dinosaur even guest starred)

Also, the Avengers overpopulation actually WAS a few times in the comic.

I don't read that many straight-ahead humor comics, but I guess offhand my favorite would be 'Mister O', by Lewis Trondheim. Very, very funny.

Is it just me, or does Howard the Duck's Super team look like a prototype of the Pet Avengers?

Glorious, glorious What-Ifs.

The Spidey/Thinker one will always be pure gold.

Ah, one of my two most re-read WHAT IFs, the other being the Korvac story(funny thing, to this day I have NEVER read the original it was derived from). Not really that funny, but its jam quality, like the other one, is what makes it. It has a good cluttered energy to it.

But... Aunt May WAS the "Golden Oldie". It was just as a Silver Surfer replacement, not as one for Iron Man.

Ok, they all crack me up but man, the Elektra one is hilarious. And it's essentially what happens in MC2 for her.

I love that What If?. Funnier than either Not Brand Echhh, or that thing that Bendis did a few years ago with Jim Mahfood in which he basically said that anyone who disagreed with him was a doody-head.

My favorite humor comic ever (at least in superhero comics) would have to be the GLA: Misassembled miniseries that Dan Slott and Paul Pelletier did, shortly after Avengers: Misassembled and Identity Crisis, both of which Slott mercilessly mocks. Plus, you know, Squirrel Girl! (It's actually a little poignant now, given that Slott has basically an IV drip of the Quesada Qool-Aid jacked into his carotid artery.)

Dazzler becoming a lawyer was gold. BTW, how do I make a comic scan post here?
