We are celebrating 10 years!
Is it a coincidence that the day we celebrate Humor Sapiens' birthday, All Saints' Day is also celebrated? We do not know. At least the founders of Humor Sapiens, Pepe and Alex Pelayo, did not think so when they published the first content. But to be fashionable, one could create “a conspiracy theory” and say that since All Saints' Day is a Catholic holiday in which people remember their loved ones who have died, Humor Sapiens Day is a holiday. mundane in which human beings remember themselves with...

Interview with Alen Lauzán
I'm not worried about censorship, it's part of the humorous game
Today, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of humorsapiens.com, we have invited a Cuban-Chilean cartoonist, our good friend Alen Lauzán, to “dialogue” with us. For those who do not know him -according to the information I have-, he has held at least 30 exhibitions of his works. He has obtained international awards and mentions and all the recognitions (or almost all, so as not to be absolutist), that are granted in Cuba. The latter is decisive, due to the high quality of the graphic comedians on the Island. And if that were not enough... (Details >)
Growing old with humor | Pavel Constantin (Romania)
On this occasion we traveled to Romania, a country with a large number of active cartoonists of all ages, but in this case we spoke again with one of the most prestigious and oldest... «This story of aging is a bit strange. Time is something very indeterminate. Sometimes it's too long, sometimes it goes by too fast. I have in my memory, as if it were yesterday, the movie of the passage of time... the days when...

It was my investigations into the presence of humor in the work of various plastic artists: sculptors, photographers, painters, draftsmen, which motivated me to write the section on “Visual Humors”, which is part of the content of the Humorsapiens Bulletin, a monthly magazine, which has become required reading for creators, researchers, essayists and readers interested in...

There is dying laughing, laughing at dying and dying to laugh. The latter is the most infamous, as it is an attack on freedom of thought, a violation of Humanity. The first is, without a doubt, the best way to start “the path” (as the Mayans say), while the second is a ritual of liberation for those who stay... (Details >)
Last October 6 was World Smile Day. For this reason, the monthly Humor Sapiens newsletter published an editorial and I also wanted to reflect on this capacity that, if it does not radically differentiate us human beings from the rest of the animals - they also feel and express emotions -, it does do so a way...

"Gallows" humor: a very dark form of puns
Real Life Hanging Humor:
Sometimes dark humor is based on reality. In 1883, Judge M. B. Gerry sentenced Alfred E. Packer to death for cannibalism after a blizzard closed the Donner Pass, trapping the anticipation of settlers heading to California. A reporter ran from the courtroom to a local bar and announced that the judge had said, “There were only seven Democrats in all of Hinsdale County and you son of a bitch killed five of them.” This quote was collected in...

Milestones in the History of Humor
Political cartoon
Review: Printed satirical drawing aimed at mockingly criticizing political authorities.
Data: Printed satire highlighted the struggles between the Papacy and Luther, and even Louis XIV was a victim of early caricatures. However, the genre of political caricature was only established in 1770, when in England it was taken as a weapon of defense against those who handled state affairs. The painter William Hogarth made mocking illustrations of social criticism between the 17th and 18th centuries.
