Abstract

This study examines how the concept of character is formed through the characterisation process with images in comic panels and text in comic balloons. In addition, this study also examines the character as a medium of humour to criticise philosophical thinking based on the concept of character that has been explained. The purpose of this research is to find out how philosophical characters are able to criticise philosophical thinking through humour in comics, which is a popular literary medium. The object of the research is a comic line presented on the web with a philosophical theme studied through the theoretical framework of popular literature, comics, narratology, and humour. Using qualitative methodology through an objective approach with the theoretical framework of narratology and humour as an analytical tool as well as the process of identification and interpretation as data analysis techniques. Based on this research, comic characters become a medium for humorous criticism by contrasting the characterisation of images and text, characterisation of characters at the beginning of the story and the end of the story, and characterisation of imitation characters with original characters. And based on the results of the interpretation of humour criticism, philosophical thought becomes an object of humour through the imitation character of the philosopher. Through humour criticism, the strangeness of philosophy becomes a joke where the strangeness is the weakness of philosophical thought itself. Keywords: Popular Literature, Comics, Narratology, Character, Humour, Humour Criticism, Philosophy
