HUMOR


MECCA FOR ERMA FANS

Humor Writers
The University of Dayton / Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop. The number-one web site and resource for humorists and those who love to laugh. Their annual conference draws hundreds nationwide.

NORM'S WEB POSSE
HA!
Humorist Norm Cowie launched this HA! site, guided by this philosophy: “Mystery writers have their web site, thriller writers have theirs, romance writers have theirs ... but not humor writers. That's why no one takes us seriously! (hey, get that whoopie cushion out of there!)”

ENTER TO WIN
HumorPress
Humorists around the country submit their essays. Every two months, HumorPress announces the winners, and does compilations of essays in their books.

CLASSIC LOONINESS
Mad Magazine
What, me worry? Cartoonist Mort Drucker is still a hero. Here's their web site.

SATIRE MAGNIFICO
The Onion
Heavy on satire. Hysterically funny mock news stories. Sample headlines: “Scientists isolate area of brain that doesn't like poking." “Area man has falling out with society.” “Unemployed scientists prove dog likes beer.”

But this year, my mentor and friend signed a major publishing deal, (first printing a hardback!) and was mentioned in Publisher's Weekly.


MOM HUMORIST
Laurie Fabrizio
Like me, Laurie's married to an IT guy. She has two teenage daughters. Visit her site, which “is devoted to sharing my published and unpublished creative projects for those looking for a bit of humor to brighten their day.”

FAMILY


LANDSCAPE FIRM

O'Donovan's Landscaping
My roots (pun intended) began on ten unincorporated acres in Naperville, Illinois. My father started the business in 1967, and my mother, Louise, sisters Lisa and Susan, and brother-in-law Roman keep it thriving today.
