At this point, comics are a storytelling medium like novels, movies, or TV. Nobody notes that “certain movies” contain audible dialogue just because films were once silent.
You are correct, but this is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make. The word “movie” is just short for “moving picture” and doesn’t imply “silent” in any way, while the word “comic”, with no other context, means “funny”.
So yes, of course, comics are now storytelling media, but I’m suggesting that our brains are still primed towards comedy upon seeing the word. Just trying to explain why you might “see this a lot”.
