      “Funny” gets laughs. “Relatable” gets engagement.

        This happened yesterday! As a Christmas gift, I got a book of Sunday comics.

        As a group, from boomers to my under-10yo kids, we skimmed through it. The kids laughed at the weird abstract ones. I loved the ones with wordplay. My neighbor in her 60s laughed at the husband/wife joke.

        Found it really fascinating how no comic made everyone laugh at the same time.

        The one everyone agreed was a good comic, I’m even though it wasn’t funny, was the “peeing in the pool” comic. Relatable brings us all together.

      I don’t want any of this

      I would’ve taken any comic. I’m easy.

      Don’t worry, clearly they didn’t waste much effort.
