the.com/comic
sequential art that taught generations to read, then got banned for it
means Something intended to be funny, or a publication that tells a story through a sequence of drawn panels.
from From Greek 'komikos,' meaning 'of comedy,' which traces back to 'komos' — a riotous, drunken procession of revelers who sang and capered in honor of Dionysus. That festival rowdiness gave us 'comedy,' and 'comic' rode along as its adjective. The picture-strip sense is a much later offshoot, shortened from 'comic strip' and 'comic book,' which earned the name because the early newspaper strips were chiefly humorous — a label that stuck even after the medium grew up and got grim.
