Taking a Twist on Valentines

This year for Valentine's Day, why not take a 'twist' on the theme and try a Random Act of Kindness with a touch of origami, for a fun and unexpected gift? The price is right, with lots of designs to choose from.

I became interested in this when I spotted the exquisite Origami Love Notes, but there are many to choose from, including jewelry, notecards and more...

...and in case you're wondering where the 'humor connection' would be in this idea -- why not include in your creation a joke, riddle, silly poem, lyrics to a funny song, a funny picture?

Make 'em Laugh: The Book

Previously, I posted information about the PBS special series on Make 'em Laugh: The Funny Business of America.

Picking up from where the series leaves off, this newly-published book goes deeper into the works and lives of America's great comic artists, with biographical portraits, archival materials, cultural overviews, and rare photos.
