  This paper proposes a system’s design for generating comics based on the incongruity theory of humour. We describe the field of Computational Humour, while also examining the nature of humour in the context of images and text to help provide frameworks for developing a system, comedy53, to produce computer generated comics. Based on the results of comedy53, we then propose strategies to help improve the future development of comic generation in the context of Computational Humour.
