Summary
An anthology and handbook that addresses the main goal of helping to find ways of responding to written humor more effectively by going well beyond a simple response of laughter. It also aims to help explore visual humor like films, television shows, plays, and cartoon strips and helps to handle auditory humor such as live performances of stand-up comics and CD and cassette recordings of these performances.
