Amusing is the most general of these words because it includes the idea of being enjoyable as well as making people laugh and can be used to describe events, activities and occasions.

Humorous is not quite as strong as funny or comic and is more about showing that you see the humour in a situation, than actually making people laugh out loud. Comic is used to talk especially about writing and drama or things that are funny in a deliberate and theatrical way. It is not used to describe people (except for comic writers ). Funny can describe people, jokes and stories, things that happen, or anything that makes people laugh.
