In January, 2020, we sent out a call for photography:

We need to laugh now, more than ever, so Dickerman Prints is announcing a call for humorous entries that will lift our spirits and tickle our funny bones.

Who knew that just a few short months later, our need to laugh would be so amplified. To help celebrate humor in the midst of challenge, we present the selected entries from The Best Medicine Show.

Gary Beeber - Jimmy on a Float
Ellen Rosenthal - Sorry, We're Open
Ken Walton - San Francisco, 2018
Erica Martin - Adult Cabaret
Marky Kauffmann - Betty's Bread

“Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.”

~ Mark Twain

“Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.”

~ Lord Byron
