comedic animators have a much more complicated problem to solve:
What makes a physical character funny? Comedy for Animators breaks
down the answer by exploring the techniques of those who have used
their bodies to make others laugh. Drawing from traditions such as
commedia dell'arte, pantomime, Vaudeville, the circus, and silent

characters, but also how to execute gags, create a comic climate,
and use environment as a character. Whether you're creating a comic
villain or a bumbling sidekick, this is the one and only guide you
need to get your audience laughing! Explanation of comedic
archetypes and devices will both inspire and inform your creative
choices Exploration of various modes of storytelling allows you to
give the right context for your story and characters Tips for
creating worlds, scenarios, and casts for your characters to
flourish in Companion website includes example videos and further
