I call them the comics, to answer your interesting question. But perhaps even more interesting would be to take a poll to find out what the newspapers call them.

Most newspapers print an index on or near the front page. Once I learn the layout of a newspaper I never look at the index again. But my suspicion is that in the US it's almost universal that the newspapers call them comics.

I'd actually be kind of shocked if any newspaper called them the funnies or the funny pages. Funny pages should be reserved for letters to the editor.
