Abstract
There is now a vast literature on the subject of humour, incorporating contributions from the fields of philosophy, linguistics, sociology, anthropology and psychology. The majority of these studies have focused on verbal forms of humour, jokes in particular, and they have neglected visual and multimodal humorous genres like cartoons and comic strips. In spite of a small number of interesting studies about the perceptual, cognitive and psychological basis for grasping and appreciating visual cartoon humour (Herzog and Hager, 1995; Smith, 1996; Forceville, 2005; Marin-Arrese, 2004), there is thus still very little knowledge about the specific nature of verbo-visual forms of humour.
