Even if you have never heard their radio show, I think you will find
either of the Bob and Ray books to fit the subject description. That's
Bob Elliot and Ray Goulding (gee, I hope I remember the last-name spelling!)
and the books are WRITE IF YOU GET WORK and FROM APPROXIMATELY COAST TO
COAST.

Another area of really funny stuff which is sadly neglected now is the
humor of the thirties; Robert Benchley, Thorne Smith, James Branch Cabell,
and the like. You can often find old humor anthologies at book fairs or
the "for sale" shelves at libraries for a quarter or so, which have many
selections by these and other authors, and are a good starting point for
locating those writers whose work you like best.
