Stagecoach,
John Ford, and Redemption Comedy
The Ukrainian crisis impels us to publish a first rough
draft of an essay on John Ford’s Stagecoach which for the first
time defines a non-humor-centered Redemption Comedy sub-genre. Everyone
in Ukraine today needs redemption and our prayers in their support.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Lord, in your grace, grant all
those in Ukraine your redemption.

ITCHS is the home of the
Humor Quotient Newsletter and
the designer and administrator of the
Humor Quotient Test and the
Langerian/Bergsonian Vitalist Humor Test.
We hope that students of literature, psychology, sociology, and other
disciplines will find useful sources in the e-volumes we publish here.
ITCHS is at its core a collaborative effort. We are proud of thousands
of volunteer associates who have made our research discoveries
possible. And we are constantly looking to increase the number of
scholar affiliates with whom we continue our efforts. If you are a humor
scholar, a comedy scholar, a scholar in a related field like travesty,
satire, or tragedy and especially if you are a graduate student looking
for a dissertation topic and institute affiliation, we want to hear from
you. We are experts in research design and quantitative analysis, and
we are anxious to consider possibilities for collaborative research and
publication.
