Kansas is not the funniest place in the world, but it does have its share of humor. The author reveals a lighter side of the state where he explores what has passed for humor in good times and bad and divulges what makes Kansans laugh. He illustrates what Kansans have chuckled and chortled at from settlement days to the present with rich veins of humor in the frontier experience, The Great Depression, Populism, and politics. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
