Every Man in His Humor

Publication Date: June 2, 2011

Chapter: English Literature in the Early Seventeenth Century

Technically, the term "humor" in this case refers not to the quality of being funny, but of a particular personality quirk that dominates a person's character. That said, I didn't really know that when I was reading the biographical information on Ben Jonson, and since I refuse to abandon Lit Brick's core principle (that the strips are literally whatever popped into my head while reading), I also refuse to rewrite comics for the sake of factual accuracy.

Also, I have a hard time reading anything by anyone named "Johnson" with shouting "HOWARD JOHNSON IS RIGHT!" to myself.

Author: Ben Jonson • Year: 1598 • Info: Wikipedia

About The Comic

Lit Brick is a comic started by Jodie Troutman in an effort to read the entire Norton Anthology of English Literature. Having eventually succeeded in that goal, it now features comics about all manner of random literature. For more of Jodie's work, visit longtalljodie.com!
