Funny Because It's True
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
- Mel Brooks
Is life a tragedy, or a comedy? Which defines your life most truthfully? We all deal with tragic elements in our lives but at what point would you call your life a tragedy? If you can laugh at life's set backs, then you've got a good recipe for a comedy. Most of us would agree.
I illustrated this debate for an article by Terry Teachout for the Wall Street Journal. Comedy tips the balance. Tragedy throws a hissyfit. Fun stuff!
Got the call from art director and all-around great guy David Bamundo. Thanks, Dave!
Sometimes I get so caught up in working and playing that I forget all of the things I have worked on lately. Nice to have some quiet time, now that the kids are back in school, to sit down and put everything back together. It was an incredible summer, but I also had some really fantastic assignments. More to come.
