The Beano is amusing (5)
I believe the answer is:
comic
I believe this is a double definition.
'the beano' is the first definition.
'is amusing' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for comic that I've seen before include "Funny, droll" , "Professional funny person" , "Funny, ridiculous" , "Funny man, often stand-up" , "Amusing, laughable" .)
