comics section

Daily strip pages

The comics section is the part of a newspaper devoted to comic strips—sequential panel drawings with recurring characters and storylines or standalone gags.

Also called the funny pages or funnies: Dad always reads the comics section first.

Once a major draw for newspaper readers, it has shrunk as print circulation declines.
