I've always wondered this, but never gotten around to asking: why were they called "funnies" when they clearly weren't intended to be funny?

I'm assuming it might be because newspaper comic strips were referred to as "the funnies" or "the funny pages"/"funny papers" and many of the early comic books were reprints of the those comic strips.
Even as newer material began being produced specifically for comic books, characters (like Mutt & Jeff) from the newspaper comics or even the comic strips themselves were often included in some comic books during the 1940s.

And the first issue in the Amazing Mystery Funnies series was cover-dated August 1938.

Even though it does say "Starting this issue: The daring exploits of THE SANDMAN!" at the top of the cover, according to the GCD he technically first appeared in New York World's Fair Comics released at the end of April 1939.

Have to challenge this one . . .

Cover clearly dated "WINTER Issue", not "December".
Classic Covers Chronologically - Page 2 All_st40

Inside front cover indicates "Winter Issue, 1940" with no mention of it being December.
Classic Covers Chronologically - Page 2 All_st42

Classic Covers Chronologically - Page 2 All_st41

And both the GCD and Mike's Amazing World of Comics have the issue going on sale November 22, 1940 (at least for here in the U.S.).

Now, winter may begin in December, but it runs through March (at least here in the Northern hemisphere).  When books are published on a bi-monthly basis, they either include both months for the cover date or, as they did when I started buying DC in the early 1970s, just the later month. (The Brave and the Bold #108 was the August-September 1973 issue, but they only used "Sept" on the cover, probably so that stores might keep it on the racks longer.) So I question declaring All Star Comics #3 as "December 1940".

(But maybe that's just me . . .

The Newsstand feature on Mike's Amazing World, from which I make my choices, and GCD both bring up All-Star Comics #3 under December 1940, and not under January or February 1941.

December 1940 would have been the first full month it was available, but it was a quarterly publication at that point in time, and, as mentioned, it would have first been available in late November 1940.
