Agreed. There are enough examples here to show that it isn't always about the misfortunes of others, although I would argue that the irishman, the legless dog and the rabbi involve a certain amount of misfortune. I would also have to say that the embarrassment of the woman in my joke is a misfortune...

Combined response ahead; Quix, I agree that if you overanalyze humor it takes the funny out of it, but my suggestion was that as a creator of humor (which is work, not magic) that Usagi might benefit, and thus we would benefit by his application of study. After re-reading my post, I can see where it...

Usagi,<P>I want to preface this with a thank you for responding, and also for responding in a well thought out and mature fashion. <P>I think you and I will have to agree to disagree on this subject, and that's ok.

Scuse me, but wtf???<P>Your comic is funny, though warped. However, it is, I assumed, a work of fiction, and not meant to realistically reflect the personalities of its creators.<P>The rants though, one assumes, reflect your actual opinions and attitudes.<P>With this thought in mind, one wonders why...
