Comic

Famous quotes containing the word comic:

    What the Journal posits is not the tragic question, the Madman’s question: “Who am I?”, but the comic question, the Bewildered Man’s question: “Am I?” A comic—a comedian, that’s what the Journal keeper is.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    And in a comic mood
    In mid-air take to bed a wife.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    The real charm of the United States is that it is the only comic country ever heard of.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
