The fact that Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) and his illustrator partner/wife are funny should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with their work. The former is best known for his Series of Unfortunate Events books and the latter for her brilliantly droll Three Panel Book Reviews and haunting young adult book Picture the Dead. But the duo’s recent appearance on Forum was not only humorous, but revealed a life-approach that embraces imagination and finds mystery in the everyday. And was about as much fun as you can have on the radio without accruing FFC fines.
The two filled our studios with such joy, affection and quick wit that I can’t help but interpret the interview any other way than to say we should all have this much fun in life. So here, courtesy of Lemony Snicket and Lisa Brown are 12 tips for an awesome life.
1. Make your own Christmas cards even if it means sending them 19 years late.
