 I don’t know anything about English-language comics, and it feels overwhelming not to know where to start. So when I saw this Guardian list of ten funny comic books, I thought it would be a good place to start. The list is curated\n by Luke Healy, who recently wrote\n The Con Artists<\/a>, the story of a stand-up comedian. I started reading these ten comics and somewhere along the way I remembered two things. Firstly, that I am a very difficult person when it comes to humour. Most of it does not\n make me laugh, for reasons I don’t really always understand. Secondly, that I am a very picky comic reader, very attached to the way the comic is drawn. So I went through them with a very different appreciation, but happy to have\n explored this art.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
