NEW YORK CITY, New York – Weekly Humorist’s Editor-in-Chief Marty Dundics was featured in a Yahoo News article discussing humor in the face of tragedy, also mentioned, Comedian/Author Steve Martin, American Bystander cartoonist Harry Bliss, New Yorker cartoonists Jessica Olien, also featuring cartoons by Michael Shaw, Andy Cowan & Dan McConnell.
Cartoonists around the country are making a point of making people laugh about the coronavirus at a time when many Americans are feeling anxiety and fear.
“Humor is very good at breaking the tension, humor is good in stressful times,” said Marty Dundics, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of the Weekly Humorist, a digital magazine that features cartoons and funny articles.
Dundics tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he has been getting many submissions from humorists about the coronavirus. He says the challenge is sifting through the content to find light-hearted content that taps into the things Americans are collectively experiencing right now.
“Jokes about working from home, jokes about having kids always around you. Jokes about having to wash your hand all the time, or touching your face,” he said. “There’s humor to be found there. So it’s about finding that stuff and trying to relieve the stress in those ways.”
