| usedbooks | Gelotology is the study of humor and laughter. (From the latin gelos, meaning laugh.)
I'm have my masters degree in Biology and am the daughter of a high school physics teacher (father) and high school ecology/biology teacher (mother). Science humor is an integral part of my life. For years, my brother and I have made up goofy science gags, wanting to incorporate them into some sort of parody story. I decided it is time to compile them into a comic. -- Bear with the so-called "art" as I am a biologist, not an artist. ;-)
This comic will appeal to anyone with a scientific mind and a juvenile sense of humor. I'll do my best to avoid explaining jokes unless asked. (I won't insult your intelligence.) This comic will update 1+ times per week and is mostly an outlet to keep my mind from going stale while I have writer/artist block on my long-running serious/dramatic story Used Books. -Posted on Oct 19, 2008 |

I think you can consider yourself an artist :) -Posted on Jan 30, 2009 | | User: usedbooks | | | I almost named the comic "Lolology," but I decided it needed an overeducated name. I actually had to look it up. I knew that the "science of humor" had to exist. Lo and behold, it does!
I plan on referencing other obscure studies and experiments now and then. Maybe we'll all learn stuff. -Posted on Oct 20, 2008 | | User: patrickdevine | | 5 | | I'm glad that you bothered to translate that, I would've thought that Gelotology was the study of Gelato. Or Jello. Or some other dessert. -Posted on Oct 20, 2008 | | User: usedbooks | | | | Thanks, guys. I'm coloring the first strip now. I should have it up today. -Posted on Oct 20, 2008 | | User: LanceDanger | | 5 | | Lol the one on the left has such a maniacal looking laugh XD -Posted on Oct 20, 2008 | | User: amanda | | 5 | | Oooh!
