  • In Art Spiegelman's MetaMaus, the reflective companion to his graphic memoir Maus, Spiegelman claims that in creating graphic narratives, "You've gotta boil everything down to its essence. . . It's a great medium for artists who can't remember much anyway.

The article "Far Quippier Than Hilarious" from HPPR's Spring Read 2025: Humor Me series discusses the nuances of humor in literature, focusing on the difference between wit and outright hilarity. It explores how humor can be subtle, often found in the cleverness of wordplay, irony, and the unexpected twist of phrases rather than in overt comedy. The piece highlights various authors known for their quips and sharp dialogue, suggesting that this form of humor requires a more engaged reader to appreciate the layers of meaning. It also touches on how humor has evolved, with contemporary literature often blending wit with more direct forms of comedy to cater to diverse audience tastes. The article concludes by emphasizing the enduring appeal of wit in literature, which, while not always laugh-out-loud funny, provides a sophisticated enjoyment through its cleverness and insight.
