In these times of turmoil we all need a good laugh to help ease the tension. In fact most of us including me can not survive our every day life without a laugh once a week. "Laughter is the best medicine" is a true statement. Humor,my friends,lowers your blood pressure and cholesterol level,plus it hepls our mental health. Laughter is part of human nature,we all need to laugh. Comedy has been around since the age of time. It is still going strong in art and writing. People never get tired of laughing.

Screenwriting is probadly tops for comedy. The comedians and comedy shows survive with fresh humor writers to get their laughs. My two favorite shows are "Saturday Night Live" and "The Jay Leno Show",their comedy is first rate which means the writers are first rate. And,how about "Mad Magazine",still going strong because of strong artists and writers. Perhaps,like me you enjoy humor and like to dabble in it.

I enjoy writing one liners and putting comedy into my writing. You might like doing humor art or writing yourself. Hay,you have to admit it is fun and you can chuckle as you create. Of course I never made it anywhere with my writing. Writers and Artists are a dime a dozen. So if your looking for fame and money forget it,that can not be your motive for writing or drawing comedy. You have to do it for the fun of it.

One of my favorite comedians is Carol Burnett. Remember her show that was on in the 70's. God,how I used to laugh at those skits. Some of the younger crowd might have seen her reruns,but most people should know Carol Burnett,if not I am sure you can get a video or DVD of her show and numerous movies she did.
