My Brother was an Only Child
A bit of April-foolery, this is an errant collection of odd ball pieces by a TV writer which ranges from training an aardvark to feuds, wine and vodka, to tree surgery and the dangers of sign language. You can read about the Tzarist regime in Poughkeepsie, or the year the locusts came; about a boy and a dinosaur or the cat that adopted a baby; about the turtle that became a moving picture star or the wonders of India; about a barroom ballet or a Rain-trapped missionary -- and you are guaranteed not to learn a single, solitary THING. "My Brother Was an Only Child" was Jack Douglas' very first humour book, having written for famous radio and television celebrities such as Jack Paar, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante, as well as TV shows such as "Adventures of Harriet and Ozzie", "The George Gobel Show", and "Laugh-In". It perfectly captures the sense of humour prevalent in this era and is as refreshing and side-splittingly funny now as it was then.

Encyclopedia of American Humorists
First published in 1988, this book contains entries on famous American Humorists. Humor has been present in American literature, from the beginning, and has developed characteristics that reflect the American character, both regional and national. Although American literature was, in the past, treated as inferior to British literature, there has always been a large popular audience for the genre, which this book shows. The figures with entries in this encyclopedia not only amuse in their writing, but also aim to enlighten- setting out to expose the foibles and foolishness of society and the individuals who compose it. It is the manner in which these authors try to accomplish this end that determines whether they appear in the volume. Indeed, the book will demonstrate that the best humor has at its base, a ready understanding of human nature.
