I must confess, I do not read Dilbert, but I do when ever I get the chance. The comic is wonderfully done and anyone working in any type of office can relate.

It is very true that the best children's books are funny in nature. The hard part is writing it and keeping the story in tact. Great advice. I'm book marking the page!

Good article. My debut novel Dead Frog on the Porch and the soon to be released second in the series Dead Bird through the Cat Door are both funny. I agree with Scott Adams that funny is in the reaction of the characters to the situation.

You make a good point. Think about it: the economy sucks, there's a lot of depressing news pouring out of the media's every nook and cranny, and very few people are genuinely happy. So what do we give them? Dark stories about the paranormal and the living dead. Yeah, that's really gonna lighten the mood. /sarcasm

Nothing says "supercharge my endorphins" like laughter. Is it any wonder that web sites, TV shows and movies that mock real life tend to be outrageously popular?

As a former cubicle jockey, I must confess that I used to like Dilbert. Thanks for the link - that was a good article by Scott Adams.

Admittedly, not quite a French fry, but I did once make Coca Cola squirt out of my brother’s nose at a wedding reception. Try it, the sight of someone turned into a cola fountain in public is truly something to behold. But, just not on my brother, okay? He still looks queasy when I mention it, even today.

And hey, why leave the vampires alone? You might have stumbled across the next hot publishing trend - Vampire Comedies. You heard it here first.

This article reminded me of being in the 5th grade and walking home with my sister and a friend and the friend explaining "the act." My sister, friend, and I laughed very hard because we couldn't believe that anyone would ever consider doing "that."

The suggestion Scott Adams makes about better word choices is perfect and the focus of my next pass at revision. Thanks for sharing this.
