As if turning up your jacket collar against the cold, downing a shot of whiskey, and giving the Mona Lisa a slap across the face was somehow more serious than what Lisa Lutz or other comic writers do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125103167537250391.post-8139437629781775412009-04-02T11:24:00.000-04:002009-04-02T11:24:00.000-04:00To me, comedy is as essential as oxygen.

Without it, we'd have to consider nothing but the serious aspects of life, and who needs THAT?Jeff Cohenhttp://jeffcohenbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125103167537250391.post-87955484774865327402009-04-02T10:51:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:51:00.000-04:00And I am taking this pet peeve straight to my edit...And I am taking this pet peeve straight to my editor (not really, says Leann, who's hands are suddenly trembling) because in one of her emails lately she said as sort of an afterthought ... "Oh, and make this book funnier." Yes. Sure. And I will also make myself at least ten years younger ... and of course richer ... and ... oh hell, you get the picture.<BR/>LeannLeann Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711922018390977295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125103167537250391.post-21530444895612633642009-04-02T10:42:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:42:00.000-04:00It is obvious that Jeff takes humor, ah um, seriou...It is obvious that Jeff takes humor, ah um, seriously. Valid points Jeff. How often it is that things seem easy that aren't. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps that is the mark of true skill, making it seem "smooth and easy" for the reader.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the insight and keep the humor coming!Natalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125103167537250391.post-17836711195419833082009-04-02T10:14:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:14:00.000-04:00There isn't nearly enough humor in books and movie...There isn't nearly enough humor in books and movies these days. And you're right about how it looks easy but it isn't. I have to have humor to escape all the seriousness in life.<BR/>It's really true that "laughter doth good like a medicine" and science has even proven it.<BR/>Good blog!<BR/>Glenda---from cozy armchair groupGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730016044051411489noreply@blogger.com
