I mean, I don't think that Devils Panties is intended to be uproariously funny. Like, comics don't have to just be a "funny" art form.

That being said, I like early Calvin & Hobbes for humor, and there's !calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world. Bill Watterson got kind of...grim and not funny towards the end, but the earlier stuff is great, IMHO.

Not funny is fine. But the last few ones have been... boring.

They're not boring, they're realistic

That's not mutually exclusive.

I had a year or so that I had realistic mundane dreams. Just doing my chores, which I then had to do again when I woke up. Worse than any nightmare.

You don't enjoy comics where the entire strip is "I have non-sociopathic beliefs, also here's a banal anecdote about my boring life"?
