funnies

1. The section of a newspaper containing comic strips. The junk in the politics section is almost as silly as the stuff in the funnies. Dad, I don't want Arts and Leisure, I just want the funnies! A: "Wait, sections of this paper are missing." B: "The kids probably already took the funnies."

2. Comic strips, especially those printed in a newspaper. Though he had a Masters in Fine Art, he paid his bills by drawing funnies for the local paper. OK, funnies and graphic novels are too very different things. I get all my news online these days. Do they still run funnies in the newspaper?
