The World of Comics (El Condorito and Garfield)

El Condorito
This comic is mostly meant to be only funny and not deal with major issues of society. Instead it parodies some well-known situations by adding a twist to an otherwise ordinary story. In this comic strip, Condorito is scolded by his boss for falling asleep on the job and his boss tells him that he is fired. Condorito responds by asking his boss not to fire him, but only because his chair at work is more comfortable than his bed at home.

Garfield
This comic strip is very light-hearted and funny. Instead of dealing with major issues in the world it simply tells a short funny story. In this comic strip, Garfield talks about stalking prey. At first, because he is a cat, it seems like he is talking about mice or other small animals as his prey. However, the last image shows us that he was actually talking about hunting cookies.

Comparison
Both of these comics are more playful than serious. In general, they will both be about short funny stories with a twist ending that are meant to make people laugh. They are not like some other comics that have the purpose of drawing the readers' attention to something that is wrong in the world. These comics exist simply for entertainment.
