But on that same note there are lots of people out there who have never ever felt funny and there are also lots of others who never thought of me as being funny.
Humor depends on your view point. If you slip on a banana peel and fall on your back that ain't funny but if you watch an actor in a movie or on Television doing the same thing you will probably wince and laugh.
Is it Funny or just plain Silly. That depends on how old you are and how stuffy you are. To a child an Adult doing something silly will always bring a giggle to the kids but to another adult it will probably just bring scorn.
It is said that actors have a far easier time of it doing drama than a comedy. Comedy depends on timing where as drama just requires reading the lines of a script in a serious tone.
Have you ever noticed that comedians like Chevy Chase, Bill Cosby and Andy Griffith are no longer very funny like they were when they were younger? Timing.
I look at this comic strip blog as a sort of expansion of the comic strip it's self. A way for me to blather and pontificate about the ills of the world as I see them. You probably do not agree with 61.99% of what I write and if you have a complaint about my view point so be it, freedom of speech and all that stuff.
The premise of the comic strip is about a wild life movie maker and his crew. A look at what probably happens behind the camera, if the animals can talk and are actually part of the production crew.
I once read in a book about syndicating comic strips that a strip should have at least six characters. I think Doonesbury has about as many characters as a Tom Clancy novel. Peanuts had about six little people and the comic strip Far Side had no characters with names.
In my little story here there is Sam the movie maker, his three crew members ( Larry Curly and Moe) Percy the lion and his girl friend Bambi ( no relation to the deer) The giraffe's name is Larry, the elephant is Gordy and the Crocodile is Harry. There are also lots and lots of little monkeys that add a little havoc and discontent to the regular characters. All the animals are paid union wages and like all good actors are put into many different situations and with pride in a job well done, all do their own stunts.
You may noticed that even though the comic strip takes place in Africa, I don't have any African humans included but am working on that situation. But the strip is about wild critters and since I have not gotten any complaints from the NAACP I guess I am still okay.
