C Garrett "Happily, not only does Wes Gehring know of what he writes, but also writes well on the subject...Comedy is too far out to be concealed behind complex language. Wes never resorts to the academic jargon that has led to Frenchman Noel Godin, 'entertainer extraordinaire,' to throw custard pies at the practitioners from the jargon-ridden world of cultural studies... if Wes receives a custard pie in the face it is because-as he proves here-he is an honorary member of the comedic fraternity."--Film scholar Anthony Slide, from his "World of Comedy" "Foreword."
