FOREVER LAUGHTER
by Don Freeman
Most of the humor is in the unaccompanied pictures—and unaccompanied pictures are not the usual choice of children old enough to enjoy the joke. "Make me laugh, Fool, or I shall banish thee!" the very sad King threatens the very dejected Jester. 'Delving' into his bag of tricks, the Jester finds a mirror. . . and the King makes faces until he's making whoopee. . . and playing the Fool himself. While the other, putting on tile discarded crown, sits glumly on the throne. . . and banishes the quondam King. . . until proffered the mirror he perks up. . . "And they lived with love and laughter/ forever after." Funny enough if you'll settle for a story in facial expressions.
