for my own part i've never been fussed about zingers and punchlines or other conventions in comics. i'm more interested in characters guiding a story to a natural conclusion. there is still a challenge in that i'm working with less than a hundred words and three or four abstracted images. i dunno, i just don't think storytellers are challenging themselves enough and giving in to wish fulfillment.
