I’ve been feeling lately like I could use some schooling in my gags. Sometimes I feel like I am repeating myself or reiterating the same kinds of jokes, not that they are bad, but I think there is potential for my cartoons to be WAY funnier. So before I start the next episode, I am going to watch a bunch of films by Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and others to see if I can garner some of their joking expertise. Fortunately, NetFlix has lots of the old stuff available to watch online, and Youtube has a pretty fine selection of old slapstick films as well, so I won’t have any shortage of material. If anybody has a favorite, please let me know. Also, I’m sure there is some good reading material on this sort of stuff. I will look into it.
