Slate series

  • March 26, 2014
  • Blog, Emotion, Humor, Random

Good people:

With the Humor Code launch in full preparation, we were lucky enough to score a ten-part blog series on Slate.com.

timeHere are the first three entries:

–What makes something funny?

–When is a joke too soon?

–Why do we laugh?

Enjoy (and hope to see you at our NYC book launch event at Gotham Comedy Club)!
