Sunday comics

Sunday comics are a special kind of funny stories that appear in the newspaper every Sunday. They are also known as Sunday Funnies or Sunday Comic Strips. These stories are made up of lots of pictures and words that tell a joke, a story, or a witty remark.

Imagine you have a coloring book with lots of different pictures in it. Now, imagine that those pictures were arranged in a way that tells a story or a joke. That's what Sunday Comics are like, except they are in the newspaper and are created by professional cartoonists.

Sunday comics usually feature different characters like superheroes, animals, or people with funny personalities. Some of the most popular Sunday comics are Garfield, Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, and Dilbert.

Because Sunday comics are so much fun to read, many people look forward to them every weekend. It's like having a special treat to enjoy with your breakfast or while sipping on a cup of hot chocolate on a lazy Sunday morning.
