Why do we laugh-- and why does it matter now more than ever? Humour has always been a tool for survival, rebellion, and understanding the absurdity of life. In What's So Funny?, Mira Falardeau, author of the widely acclaimed pioneering work, A History of Women Cartoonists, explores the power of humour across cultures and centuries-- from ancient Greek satire to modern political cartoons. With insight and wit, she examines why we laugh, how humour challenges authority, and what makes a joke land (or fail). In an age of cancel culture and controversy, this book is a timely guide to the art of laughter.
