Holiday Archive Dive: The Fifth-Panel Method of Writing Humor

Merry Christmas! Today's Holiday Archive Dive dates to January 24, 2012, when I shared my personal approach to improving my humor-writing, "The Fifth Panel Method."

Writing humor is something many of us grapple with. In the past, I've discussed a method that I advocate called Fermentation. And in many critiques and discussions, I've found myself advising writers to push or push further or push to the Funny. And every time I write those words, it occurs to me that the phrase is somewhat ambiguous and my advice may be missing the mark.

So I'm going to try to refine the Fermentation method, and I've love for those of you who are working in humor to try it out and let me know how it worked for you. (More on that later).
