comic writer

Funny script creator

A comic writer creates humorous content—jokes, sketches, sitcom scripts, or comedic prose.

The term also refers to someone who writes for comic books or graphic novels, where the meaning shifts from funny to the medium itself: She's a comic writer for Marvel.

Context usually clarifies which sense is intended.
