At first I had written just sophomoric, because that's what I thought about many of the jokes -- something high school kids might come up with. But having done some teaching myself, I thought I should explain better because today's high schoolers would call this type of humor "too old" like something they would expect from my generation. So I though of dating it -- perhaps the sixties. But I lived in the sixties in Germany and that didn't seem to fit either so I threw in the fifties -- a bit careless thinking and wording on my part.The humor I found sophomoric in a 1950's way
Ahrg, yes, that's a little bit hard, because I don't like the 50ies (I've never been there). I will think about that point.
What I really wanted to say was that I would have preferred more sophisticated jokes and I know how hard those are to write; I wouldn't even dare to attempt it myself -- therefore I suggested a clever script in the future. My style is to pick up on works of writers I like. I happen to know that writers of short stories will often give animators permission to put their stories into animation without charging anything for it, unless the animator would make a lot of money with it. After all, it works as free advertising for the writers and it must be fun for them to see what an animator could do with their material.
Thanks for your tollerance and understanding of my positions.
