What are some good books that focus on comedy?

Aristophanes's The Clouds is perhaps the most fully-formed satire ever to grace the Western World: one could make the claim that all of modern humor is represented within it. I suggest you read this work before moving on to other, more contemporary humorists

Further reading: Aristotle's Poetics, Aristophanes's Frogs, and Things Fall Apart (to be mocked, not read in sincerity)

>>5221978
it's like that one banana of the bunch you don't get around to eating before it gets ripe beyond the point of no return and you still leave it there and it gets all black and shriveled. now clearly in the picture the banana is fine except for that part but it was inspiration to give a hair like portion to him. I personally think it was an unnecessary addition but then again visual arts is not my specialty.
