I especially enjoyed the detailed history of physical comedy from ancient times to the present. Its full of laughs while describing the antics of different comic characters.I recommend this book highly to literature students. Comedy usually gets short shrift in Lit classes. because a great deal of it is not spoken. This book greatly increased my appreciation of the comic episodes in various plays by describing the physical aspect of comic presentation. Its as though I can now mentally fill in the physical clowning that was not written down. If you read this book. youll bring more to your reading of comic works. and youll smile more. too.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

A wonderful book and a must have for animators!By PrinzenickJonathan Lyons new book "Comedy for Animators" is a great book that not only offers invaluable insight into methods of comedy. but also puts them into historical context by citing many. many examples of them from both old and contemporary works! I also particularly loved the point presented that animation has close ties to live theater! A perfect reference book for animators. aspiring or expert!I could go on. but theres just no way to do this book justice in words! Buy it now and give it a read. you wont regret it!
