Yeah, when did it become necessary for a comic to be more than that? When I was a kid at the library I’d always immediately go to the comics section to see if there was a Garfield book I hadn’t read yet - they’re great. Comics can have a deep message if the author wants them to, but the idea that they’re required to is kinda ridiculous. They’re just meant to be something to get a little chuckle out of the reader, like a dumb dad joke or a pun.
