Mental Health Humor
My Today.com MOOD is: 
Just like my old pal, Stinky Wizzleteats would say: I’m Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy (Ren & Stimpy)
Hello, My Name is Chato, I am very happy to be Blogging with Today.com!
I am going to start out each post with my on little MOOD chart as I did up top.
Mental Health and Humor is a fine line. Yet, I really do believe it is worth crossing. Humor is a strong coping tool and one I am trying to embrace with cartoons and clean jokes. Still, there is some humor I will avoid. We want to focus on the humor from the consumer’s point of view too. That means you may never see me draw the old shrinks office and the sofa type gags. I intend to post one cartoon here on the blog each week along with a daily joke or commentary about Mental Health issues or what is funny in my life type post. The over-all goal is to be positive and up building and hopefully FUNNY!
“The Mental Heath Humor website is not intended to stigmatize, … but some of the jokes and cartoons may be about the stigma of mental health. Let’s keep an open mind, o.k. We understand the seriousness of disorders but laughter can really help along with being a good coping skill to learn.”
Mental Health Humor: Our First Cartoon
This one was my very first try at a mental health gag joke… So who better to poke fun of then the so-called father of psychology, Sigmund Freud! I like this one, for its play on words… But please let me know what you think about it and leave a comment below.
