How to Be Funny (Right Now)

I ask women in comedy—cartoonists, writers, comics, and more— about how humor makes us braver, stronger, hotter, for moments when we need it the most. They say you shouldn’t dissect the frog because you’ll kill the joke, but I dig into the heads and hearts of hilarious people so you don’t have to.
