The Comedy Portal

Comedy is a communication system for people to make other people realize how stupid some things are. Be they stupid people, places or things. Comedy is usually expressed by Comedians which may be Canadians, individuals, teams or troupes. Animators and illustrators may also qualify as comedians, as their product serves the same purpose. Certainly, Propaganda, pornography and laundry detergent advertisements may be funny, and serve as de facto comedy, but they are not officially comedy.

Internet comedy, called Lulz, was initially just about cats and a few other cute animals. It was introduced in the 1950s, with dogs introduced within a year, after much demand in the UK. It also used the terrestrial internet through ground-based modems. Later, high speed via overhead and/or underground wiring and then 3G were introduced. More recently in the 21st century, lulz has increasingly moved from analog to digital technology. (Full article...)

Damn

British sitcoms or Britcoms are situation comedies produced in Britain, which is a hilariously shaped little island, and as such is an ideal place for situation comedy. Throughout the years that go into making decades, Britain has been home to many unique and ground breaking shows.

"I sort of mirror the state's decline."

Donald "Don" Martin (1931-2000) was a notedcartoonist who wielded a special influence over Baby-boomers, freeing them from the confines of sobriety imposed by the World War generations. Martin's best-known works, however, were published in Mad Magazine between 1956 to 1988. He had two distinct styles: patently insane and totally bombastic.

Martin left Mad in 1987, and he began cartooning for copy-Mad humor publication Cracked, which insulted its larger competitor by billing Martin as "Cracked's MADest Artist." After six years with Cracked, Martin parted company with the magazine in 1993. A year later, he launched his own short-lived publication, Don Martin Do-It-Yourself which only published two issues before Martin was abducted.
