What's your advice for writing comedy in comic form?

You gotta make good timing and pacing. Sometimes, drawing in a style that allows your characters to mold and meld into something that looks out of the ordinary. Witty dialogue is definitely another thing you need. If a character isn't unique in speech, they won't be fun to recognize.

Don't be afraid to show off your character's unique personalities, and place them in situations that don't necessarily have to be slice-of-life in a way. Mix things up! Tell mini-stories! Or just draw things that fit in context to how you feel a comedy story works. What should work is making your characters bounce off each other. If they can't bounce off each other, they can't work in the comic overall for your audience.
