The Humor Mill August 2017 | Page 14

To All Of Our Readers, Hey Family! These issues creep up on me fast! Before you know it, its time to do another one! With that being said, we planned on this issue for awhile as Marlon Wayans has been quietly building up some steam for all of his projects with his new TV show on NBC, his new film on Netflix, and his yet to be special that he’s currently trying to move forward with. As we all know, this keeps him extremely busy, and the comedy world changes everyday. Also the comedy world mourned the passing of two comedy greats; Dick Gregory and Jerry Lewis. I don’t have enough space to expound on what Mr. Gregory did for me years ago when I was starting out, but I can at least say his kind words kept me going. Mr. Lewis was as icon whom I never met face to face, as I had hoped to do one day, but alas that will never happen. He was extremely kind to a lot of folks also including me, and his words and efforts blessed a lot of people. Hopefully I learned that with grit, grind, and determination WE can accomplish anything. Thanks for everything!
