Albert Camus and Soren Kierkegaard's the Absurd

I am writing an undergrad thesis for my comparative philosophy subject and I thought it would be good to pick Camus and Kierkegaard's philosophy of the absurd as a possible topic to do. I thought this would be a good topic to tackle since I'm also taking Existentialism as a subject this semester and I have developed a keen interest in Kierkegaard's philosophy of the absurd. The problem is, I dont know how to formulate a claim for this topic, can anyone show me the light?

Thank you to those who responded, sadly, my proposal was declined by my professor on the grounds of Camus not being a proper philosopher and is, as he stated, "a Fool."

If you want to compare the two, there's definitely something to be said about how the two *react* to the idea of the absurd. Camus takes some time in The Myth of Sisyphus to show how Kierkegaard wrestles with the familiar absurd spirit, but importantly denies the way in which Kierkegaard comes to his conclusions about the idea. A thesis going into what exactly "the absurd" means to the two sounds fun, since they seem to have some different view on what exactly it is.
