funnies
Sunday paper cartoons
Funnies refers to the comic strips section of a newspaper: Dad always reads the funnies first.
The term is informal and slightly dated, from when newspapers reliably included several pages of daily comics.
It can also mean jokes or humorous content generally: Save the funnies for after the meeting.
