It is traditional that at the beginning of each year many people make a list of the things they want to change, the things they plan to do, what they would like to happen in their lives in these next 365 days. Humor Sapiens respects this custom and makes a wish for all friends, colleagues, loyal followers, those who already visit us very or infrequently and those who will visit our site for the first time in this year 2024. It is only one wish: that everyone Let's stimulate and develop our sense of humor more, because of the enormous benefits it produces for us.

Visual Humor: Román Montesinos and his Overflowing Imagination
By Francisco Puñal Suárez
(Journalist, photographer, scholar and promoter of humor).
It was in 2009 that I was able to enjoy for the first time the visual metaphors of the Galician photographer Román Montesinos, with his exhibition “This war does not prosper”, at the Alexandre Bóveda Association, in A Coruña. From that exhibition I became a faithful follower of his work. The exhibition presented unusual compositions and images that, with an artistic, provocative and challenging symbiosis between different objects and symbols, combined a biting irony.

Humors of the World - World of Humors | Pakistan - Fundamentalisms
By Osvaldo Macedo de Sousa
(Historian, writer and graphic humor specialist)

By Don L.F. Nilsen
(Assistant Dean. Humanities Division. Emeritus College. Arizona State University.
Stand-up comedy has a long history. During the Renaissance, royal jesters were chosen by the king, and he chose people who looked ridiculous; They had bulging eyes, a hunched back, were short and often deformed. They wore motley (mismatched) clothing, and also wore caps and bells, and carried fake scepters with heads on the ends so they could talk to the scepters and not directly to the king.

Milestones in the History of Humor
Theory Summary: Part of the basis of laughter involves the intention to correct the asocial individual. It could be defined as a type of punishment whose purpose would be none other than to provoke a change of attitude in the individual; From this perspective, laughing at someone would be a form of teaching. According to this position, laughter is a social gesture, through which the community itself punishes all rigidity.
Creator : Ben Jonson (1572—1637), English playwright.
