Biografisk notat
Emily Flake is a staff cartoonist for the New Yorker, a writer, an illustrator, and a performer. She is active in the New York comedy scene, performing a mix of stand-up and cartooning at venues all over the city and beyond. She is also the founder of St. Nell’s, a humor writing residency and teaching institution.Emily Flake is known for her brilliant humor, but she’s also known for her generous and collaborative support of other funny people. <i>Joke in a Box</i> is a gift to creative writers and illustrators, as well as to anyone that just wants more laughter in their life. (Wendy Aarons)
I’ve been cartooning for 10 years and Emily Flake’s <i>Joke in a Box</i> just got me to draw gags I never would’ve come up with on my own. What the hell have I been doing this whole time? (Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell)
Have you ever been grappling with your creative work, but found yourself hitting a wall?
Here’s the thing—sometimes you push through a wall. And sometimes, you need to reset your mind so that you can attack the problem with fresh eyes. That’s where Joke in a Box comes in!
Designed as an at-home version of New Yorker cartoonist Emily Flake’s popular workshop, Joke in a Box will provide a gateway into the craft of joke writing and construction, with modular prompts designed to help you see the world in a more playful and inventive way. Presented with care, empathy, and a sense of joy, this 70-card deck full of exercises and ideas is useful not just to gag writing and drawing, but to any form that speaks to you as a creator. Exercises focus on idea generations techniques such as making lists to force comic juxtapositions, drawing exercises (why not mine your junk mail for visual reference and inspiration!), and encouragement.
