Meant to teach or instruct while being funny and entertaining at the same time.
Combination of 'comic' (Greek 'komikos') and 'didactic' (from Greek 'didaktikos,' meaning 'apt to teach'). This describes art or literature that educates through humor rather than dry instruction.
This is the secret formula of the best children's shows and educational content—think how 'Sesame Street' or 'Magic School Bus' taught millions of kids through laughter instead of lecturing. The word itself is rare, but the concept is everywhere in modern pedagogy.
