Although jacket-blurbed as a "sound, informative and altogether entertaining volume," there is also a patina of pedantry, as the author dutifully runs through all the varieties of humor -- ridicule, wit, riddles, conundrums, puns, repartee, etc. (with copious examples of each) -- perhaps due to his academic credentials as "a member of the Department of Classical Languages and Archaeology at the University of Tennessee [and] the author of many articles on various aspects of humor which have appeared in several Psychological and Classical journals" (which are of course well-known hotbeds of belly-laughs). The proceedings are enlivened a bit by the cartoon illustrations of Ted Key (famous as the creator of the newspaper strip "Hazel"), but it's not hard to imagine an altogether different sort of book that might have been written by, say, Richard Armour (in which case it would have been called "It All Started with the Cavemen"). Illustrated by (dj and illus) Ted Key (illustrator).…
