“Humor is really laughing off a hurt, grinning at misery.”
Bill Mauldin (1921–2003) American editorial cartoonist
As quoted in TIME magazine (21 July 1961)
Context: The American public highly overrates its sense of humor. We're great belly laughers and prat fallers, but we never really did have a real sense of humor. Not satire anyway. We're a fatheaded, cotton-picking society. When we realize finally that we aren't God's given children, we'll understand satire. Humor is really laughing off a hurt, grinning at misery.
“Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.”
