Synopsis

Book Description "Embrace the Pun!" is a collection of single panel cartoons from independent cartoonist Barry Corbett. Oscar Levant once pointed out: "A pun is the lowest form of humor... if you didn't think of it first." According to Edgar Allen Poe: "The goodness of the true pun is in direct ratio to its intolerability." Readers will find this inventive selection of Barry's best cartoons delightfully intolerable.

From the Inside Flap

My partner Brian Codagnone and I joined forces in 2000 and set up our cartooning website, corbettfeatures.com. We knew that we had some solid comic features and planned to self syndicate directly to the newspaper industry. Brian had already been publishing his popular comic strip Misfits, and I had just finished developing my first strip, Rafferty. We felt that the web would be a great marketing tool to introduce our newest concepts and give us some national exposure.

It has been a valuable experience, exposing our creations to a worldwide audience. In time we introduced Star Crossed, S1019, Ginger & Shadow and Emotional Chaos. WeÕve been in contact with fellow cartoonists all over the world and eventually were offered a contract with Color Chips India, Ltd to syndicate our features throughout Southeast Asia. Many of the cartoons found in Embrace the Pun were developed for our weekly caption writing contest, WriterÕs Block. I hope you enjoy the cartoons and find some time to catch up with the rest of our work at corbettfeatures.com.
