PBS is running a great six-episode series on the past 100 years of American comedy called MAKE ‘EM LAUGH. I did these two mind maps on the fly during the second two episodes on wiseguys and satire/parody.
Looking back over the four maps, it strikes me how many times I wrote down the word “truth.” Comedy tells the truth.
You can see my maps of the previous two episodes here.
If you want to link to all four drawings, use this link:
