Quotes by Johnny Hart

By bouncing a word, visually, you're putting in an inflection, you know, the way a sentence should be if somebody heard it spoken. And I think a lot of humor depends on inflection, how a person says something. Certain things you could say as a question, and as a statement.

If you really look at humor, that's what most of it is anyway. Somebody wisecracking at somebody else. Putting them down. If you look at all the sitcoms, that's all sitcoms are today. Things never change. Sardonic, sarcastic humor is always prevalent. It's hard to do something funny without being that way. It's classier if you didn't have to resort to it, I think.

One of the things that I always sort of pride myself on - although we're not supposed to have pride... is that my sense of humor, if anything, was well-rounded, and you know how I discovered that? It's because everything funny that ever happened to me, or everything that happened to me, made me laugh. If I fell down the stairs I'd lay there and laugh.
