i'm trying to come up with an ironic paradox or a paradox that is ironic for my stick figure comics as something humorous or a gag but i can't figure out what an ironic paradox would be or do.

thoughts?

First of all, you better define paradoxes, since I'm pretty sure most people here still cannot distinguish between a paradox and a contradiction

For the lazy ones, in a few words:
-a paradox is when you have a reasoning that while it may be correct to follow, it results in being incorrect by following it
-a contradiction is when you have a reasoning in which you affirm that something is both itself and its own opposite (basically, saying A=nonA)

Btw, you use disjunctions when the separated things are different from each other
What kind of difference is there between an ironic paradox and a paradox that is ironic?
What the fuck?

sorry i just mean i want to create an ironic paradox OR a paradox that is ironic which are probably the same thing. Vice versa it doesn't really matter which way to me i just want something that is if it's even possible

Look up existing paradoxes and adapt then to your story.

Have your character explain what irony is, then have him explain what a paradox is, and then have him come up with the conclusion that both of them together can't work, and then have him slip on a banana peel.
