Comic karma
THIS is an age in which disasters occupy our media on a constant basis [“Dane Cook, Pain-Free Comedian,” Sept. 3]. In contrast to that, Cook puts a truly funny, fresh, positive twist on the “little things” of life.
Die of an overdose and you’re a hero. Live a good life and share joy in a world of sadness, and you get no respect.
Go drink your sorrows away huddled in a corner with a Bukowski novel, and leave comedy critiquing to people who understand what it’s like to laugh.
