I found the following “Humor-Help Tool Bag” at the website www.learnwell.org, which you can get to by clicking here. As the paragraph suggests, sometimes you have to help the humor along.
Most healing humor arises spontaneously out of situations. But at times it is helpful to have on hand things that are intrinsically funny. Some of these are humorous poems, greeting cards, bumper stickers, puns, ironies, riddles, cartoons, conundrums, anecdotes, exaggerations, jokes, books, tapes, toys, objects, masks, puppets, games, magic, charades, cartoons, costumes, greeting cards, mirrors, etc. A doctor wrote out this prescription: “Smile before meals and at bedtime.”

“at times it is helpful to have on hand things that are intrinsically funny. Some of these are humorous …..cartoons.”
Hi Therese, I love your blog… I feel like every time I visit I learn something I did not know before! But, don’t let that go to your head since I learned a long time ago i really know nothing at all so every thing in new…
I would love if you could come by my site and check out some of my mental health cartoons here is the main link over 100 cartoons I’ve done for Mental Health Humor. ( http://mentalhealthhumor.today.com/site-map )
If you see a few cartoons you like please feel free to use them on your blog just link back to my site. And if more then a few tickle your funny bone please consider blog rolling us.
Thanks,
Chato
