Canon?

From a tattered Webster’s: “an authoritative list of books accepted as Holy Scripture.”

Komos Canon?

From that same dictionary, but as imagined by the inspired mind of the author: “an authoritative list of comic masterpieces accepted as Profane Scripture.”

Source of that author’s inspiration?

The month of April, thought by one poet to be the “cruelest" month, considered by those with a lighter turn of mind to be Holy Humor Month.

The Komos Canon can be divided into three parts:

Fiction

Plays

Films

(Warning: this list may not include everything the standard English professor thinks it should; it probably includes some pieces she’s certain it should not.)
