I still don't know why the Ben Hur and Babe Ruth cartoons here make me chuckle.  I think it is my morbid sense of humor after eating Moons Over My Hammy at Denny's at 3am.  My mind plays tricks on me when I go to sleep.

    What makes a comic funny?  Inside jokes!  If you see a cartoon taped to the fridge, tacked to a cubicle or in someone's locker, you know it must've strucken a personal chord.

Let's take the the Ghandi and the Kasparov toons and disect the humor a bit.  Almost everyone knows that Ghandi was frail and skinny and probably weighed 62 pounds in damp towels, and they've probably heard of GONE WITH THE WIND....so, this Bluff would be an easy gag with a fairly high Ha Ha. 

Now, unless you really know your computer and chess history, the Kasparov /sore loser toon, by being the first man to be beaten by a machine, may not be really funny at first, but the cartoon of the computer's harsh remarks would make one chuckle.  Some even Google his name to find out more info.

The final cartoon, Snakes on a Wagon Train, was submitted by a buddy of mine, who thinks this spoof from the Snakes on a Plane movie is hilarious.  The thing I find funny is how the horse pulling the wagon has it's blinders on, or would be heading for the hills as well, and the Ma snake in the rear dumping out a pail of water, ....snakes haven't any hands, remember?
