The two most pertinent examples of this in my opinion, come in the form of the cartoons Arnold draws when he starts with Reardan, and the almost sacrilegious comic…

I would define a humorist someone who writes in a very humorous way. Someone who is a humorist, I believe has characteristics like, they like to joke around, they are funny, they tell funny stories, and use their own interpretation of the word or words in their own way.

He also used the word “guy” to show that it…
