"Tragic Comic" is the third and last single from Extreme's third studio album "III Sides to Every Story".

The song was once again an acoustic song, as Extreme tried to reprise their success with their acoustic hit "Hole Hearted", after they failed to reprise the success of "More Than Words" with the previous single and ballad "Stop the World". The song proved to be, again, a commercial failure, just like the album and the first two singles, and the band had to cancel any plans to release another single from the album.

The artwork for the single is Charlie Chaplin based and probably has to do with the name "Tragic Comic".
