Humor Writing Markets

Finding places to send your humor writing is a bitch.  Here’s my little master list of possible markets. Most don’t pay, but whoever heard of a writer who EATS?! That’s just rumor spread by writers still able to walk around and not yet too weak to speak.

PLEASE comment below if you would like to add another market to the list! We have to stick together people. The world would be a boring place without us.
