The Sunday funnies have been a staple of weekend entertainment for generations, but there are many other terms people use to describe these beloved comic strips. Some call them the "Sunday comics," while others refer to them as the "funny pages." The term "comic strip" also applies, as these illustrated stories typically appear in a strip or panel format. Some publications may use the term "cartoon section" or simply "comics." No matter how they're referred to, Sunday funnies offer a lighthearted break from the news and provide a much-needed laugh to start off the week on a positive note.
