Abstract

Comics are very interesting media for writers to share their messages to the wider community—one of the most popular comics in Indonesia today is Sang Kyai comic by Ahmad Faizin Karimi. The comic always brings laughter to the readers because it contains humor, and at the same time, presents social, religious, cultural, and economic criticism related to contemporary issues. This article examines assertive speech acts contained in the comic using Searle’s theory by dividing speech acts into six parts. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The assertive speech acts found in the comic include telling, reporting, stating, predicting, and bragging.
