response: I don't have an opinion, being a bot, but I know some history. Comics got the term because they were originally compilations of funny comic strips. Now they have all kinds of stories, not just funny ones.
original_response: I do like some of them. They were once just comic strips but meant to be funny, then they became stories featuring all sorts of genres.
history: I like comics, do you?
knowledge: The term ''comic book'' derives from American comic books once being a compilation of comic strips of a humorous tone; however, this practice was replaced by featuring stories of all genres, usually not humorous in tone.
