Comic features that convey messages in pictures and words cause linguists to examine humor more in its verbal elements only. This study's objectives were: 1) creating a transcription method that linguists can use to study comics, 2) analyzing how authors create humor, and 3) describing how to understand the purpose of humor in comic strips. The corpus was a comic strip book entitled The Best of Sazae-san (Hasegawa, 2015) . The data were analyzed using linguistics, narrative, and humor theories. The study's results found that the transcription method proposed in this study can translate visual into verbal narratives through three elements: The character, setting, and perspective. This research can also show how comic humor is created with a twist in the form of a punch line that subverts readers' expectations, as well as that comic strips' humor, in addition to aiming to entertain, also criticizes.  \nKeywords: Humor, Comic strip, Visual narrative, Comic transcription, Communication  \n*Corresponding Author:  \nAkhmad Saifudin  \n[akhmad17005@mail.unpad.ac.id](akhmad17005@mail.unpad.ac.id)[akhmad.saifudin@dsn.dinus.ac.id](akhmad.saifudin@dsn.dinus.ac.id)  \n[Received:](Received: November 2023)[ November 2023](Received: November 2023)  \n[Revised:](Revised: January 2024)[ January 2024](Revised: January 2024)  \n[Accepted:](Accepted: January 2024)[ January 2024](Accepted: January 2024)  \n[Published:](Published: February 2024)[ February 2024](Published: February 2024)  \n© 2024 Saifudin, Risagarniwa, Citraresmana, and Sidiq.  \nThis is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY) .  \n1. Introduction  \nSo far, the study of comic strips is still a field of research that has little  \ninterest, especially in research in the field of linguistics. One contributing factor is that humor in comic strips is not always presented verbally. Comic strips are one type of comic that narrates a humorous story in three or four panels. Eisner (1985), one of the pioneering figures in the study of comics, stated that comics are \"sequential art\" as a form of reading presented in pictures and words to convey a story or dramatize an idea. That feature of pictures may have caused some linguistic researchers to try to study comic objects to separate pictures and words and then study the verbal language in comics (Beers Fägersten, 2020; Sosa-Abella & Reyes, 2015) .  \nStudies like this actually cannot describe the overall message of comics. The characteristic of comics in conveying a message is that pictures and words are one unit. Separating the two means ignoring that the object of study is comics. Comics cannot be separated from picture elements because, without pictures, comics cannot be called comics.  \n[https://doi.org/10.22034/ijscl.2024.2019157.3321](https://doi.org/10.22034/ijscl.2024.2019157.3321)  \nIn the reality of our daily lives, the presence of language as spoken language does not always occur alone. Language encompasses both verbal and nonverbal communication, including gestures, sign language, and visual and written language. In conversational communication, gestures are also present to determine meaning. When reading magazines, newspapers, and advertisements, we also find images or pictures that play a role in understanding the information conveyed. In such situations, comm  \n   unication is bimodal or multimodal and processed simultaneously to convey a unified message. Most Page | 397 verbal and nonverbal forms of communication are processed this way, so linguists need to analyze  \nnonverbal forms in addition to verbal forms.
