Comic

While one can use the term "comic" referring to visual storytelling as a medium and as a genre of comedy, it is not precisely the same thing.

Comic art, just like cinema, is considered chronological art, as it goals to tell stories in an order. This art is not new. chronological art made its first appearance in cave paintings, in Egyptian hieroglyphics, and in the pottery of Ancient Greece. Comic books have more recently been regarded as children's literature. They also developed into a medium of expression with more somber topics geared at adult viewers starting in the 1960s.

Theoretically, a comic is a composition communicated through graphs on strips or edges. Text of a few estimates may be present in some or all strips. This straightforward definition makes sense of why this is viewed as a particularly flexible configuration. The imaginative use we can make of the kid's shows, delineations, words, and different components we'll discuss later, exhibit that the conceivable outcomes are practically unfathomable.

 Examples

Comic Book: "Batman," "Spider-Man," "The Walking Dead."

Comic Actor: Jim Carrey, Robin Williams.

Stand-Up Comic:  Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer.

Comic Strip: "Peanuts," "Garfield," "Calvin and Hobbes."

In literature, movies, or other forms of entertainment, the term "comic relief" refers to the employment of amusing aspects to break up the tension in the tale or to lighten the mood. It is a technique that is often used to contrast with more serious or tragic elements in a story, and it can help to balance out the overall tone of the work. Comic relief can take many forms, such as a character who is consistently funny or humorous situations that arise within the story. The use of comic relief can help to make a story more engaging and enjoyable for the audience, and it can also add depth and complexity to the characters and plot.
