Thomas & Johnston describe the history and development of Disney-style humor and then break down and analyze hundreds of animated sequences to lay out the various kinds of sight gags: the spot gag, the running gag, the gag that builds, the action gag, the tableau gag, the inanimate character gag, the funny drawing, and specialized gags. - Goodreads.com
