About this badge
Writing without humor is like cooking without spice. It might be good for you, but who cares? From the quick absurdity of The Onion to the sophisticated parody in The New Yorker, there is no formula for humor, but there are many universal elements and methods. Examine what unites diverse humorists like Tina Fey, Bill Bryson, Dorothy Parker, Mark Twain, and Nora Ephron. Course work includes assignments that develop skills for building humor into elements of writing, including character, voice, pacing, point of view, and scene building.
