While both aim to entertain through humor, a comic typically refers to characters in comic books, cartoons, or films, whose humor is visual and narrative-driven. A stand-up comedian, on the other hand, is a performer who tells jokes and stories directly to a live audience, relying on verbal delivery, timing, and personal anecdotes.
