Quaker Humor

March 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

All white Euro-types who can, persumably, take it.

The Wittenburg Door, a Christian humor magazine — No, really! And funny too. Gives new meaning to “the offense of the Cross.” — Anyways… they ran an article about the lameness of Quaker jokes as if there were such a thing as Quaker jokes. As in a similar piece in the National Lampoon decades previous about “Canadian jokes,” the subject was supposed to be too bland to inspire cruel ethnic humor. The Quaker in the jokes is always peaceable, sensible and composed and spoils the joke. Above is the drawing the editors had me draw for them. From 2002, or 2003, or 2004. Maybe 2001 or 2000. I don’t remember.
