The world has so many serious needs. Why bother with funny stuff? Does laughter really matter, when wars are being conducted and the earth is losing her delicate mantle, that stands between us and the sterile universe?
This is the place where we’ll develop a case for Funny. Not that you need a case. (And, besides, you might prefer a barrel.)
We’re here to provide the laughs. But we’re also here to provide the reasons. Watch for thoughtful posts on the nature of humor, why it’s important to laugh, how laughter preserves the human race (and maybe your relationship with your cat). Explore why the Greeks thought comedy was elevated above tragedy. Consider your own approach to humor.
Altogether, this is the place where we’ll think about Why Funny?
