From a lecture given by Satrapi in February 2012: “To understand another’s laughter is to understand them as a person, a part of a culture—although, as Satrapi insists to the chuckling crowd, “Humor is a question of intelligence—people with no sense of humor are idiots and stupid.” It becomes increasingly clear that humor is more than a means of communication to Satrapi, but rather a way of approaching life. When asked about how her family coped with the turmoil in Iran, she responds: “You have to do things to be able to survive … When misery becomes unbearable, you must laugh about it or you die.” She returns again to her anger, and also cynicism, explaining that they are not the emotions she wishes to model her life on, but that humor—and art—are the keys to surviving.
