Humor’s one of those funny things, if you’ll pardon the pun. Everyone’s sense of humor is different. So having warned you ahead of time, I find some of Stuart Barlow’s cartoons on mental health and psychology topics funny, but you may not. His words say it best:

It’s a project of mine using humor to help heal.

My goal is to have the cartoons and jokes from the “consumer point of view.” If you have any ideas for a cartoon or a joke or funny story that fits thats criteria let me know. I will post the jokes and stories and try to draw the cartoon idea.

I believe there is a great deal of value in humor and learning to laugh at oneself and one’s life, even in the darkest moments. Laughter is one of the things that makes us uniquely humor and reminds us what a fragile sliver of the world we live in — our own lives.
