We study the long-time dynamics of the mean squared displacement of a random walker moving on a comb structure under the effect of stochastic resetting. We consider that the walker's motion along the backbone is diffusive and it performs short jumps separated by random resting periods along fingers. We take into account two different types of resetting acting separately: global resetting from any point in the comb to the initial position and resetting from a finger to the corresponding backbone. We analyze the interplay between the waiting process and Markovian and non-Markovian resetting processes on the overall mean squared displacement. The Markovian resetting from the fingers is found to induce normal diffusion, thereby minimizing the trapping effect of fingers. In contrast, for non-Markovian local resetting, an interesting crossover with three different regimes emerges, with two of them subdiffusive and one of them diffusive. Thus, an interesting interplay between the exponents characterizing the waiting time distributions of the subdiffusive random walk and resetting takes place. As for global resetting, its effect is even more drastic as it precludes normal diffusion. Specifically, such a resetting can induce a constant asymptotic mean squared displacement in the Markovian case or two distinct regimes of subdiffusive motion in the non-Markovian case.
