IF: HOMAGE …to oranges and laughter

Today, I am listening to the Beastie Boys and Dr. Hook, if that tells you anything about my mood. So, for Illustration Friday’s HOMAGE, it is only suiting to pay tribute to the most famous KNOCK KNOCK JOKE of all time. Happy day!
Knock Knock. WHO'S THERE? Banana. BANANA WHO?

Go tell some knock-knock jokes to a first grader today. Their maniacal laughter at the punchline will make your day. At least the first 7 times they tell the same one. Seven is the limit. Then it’s time for something–anything–else.

For more laughter, check this out. Illustrators should especially love it. The characters are fabulous. http://kateharding.net/2008/03/31/best-thing-ever/

well there are no 1st graders handy but your illustration caused me to spontaneously shout “orange you glad…” at the monitor and giggle uncontrollably so I’d say this one is a total success. And Beastie Boys sounds like a good idea today. Thanks for the laughs, love the illo!

Banana who? That joke is a classic. I remember this joke spiraling into an endless loop of banana. And you are so right Teri, I just tried it out, and seven times is the banana limit.
