| About
Our Book: |
| This book first saw the light of day as a college paper titled LAUREL AND HARDY — THEY’RE STILL FUNNY that I wrote back in March 1977. The paper was my analysis of the comedy of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy during their years as a team in films. In my analysis I presented my take on why Laurel and Hardy and their comedy were so wonderfully funny, and so universal in their appeal around the world, despite the passage of twenty-six years between The Boys’ final film, Atoll K, made in 1951, and the time I wrote the paper, early 1977. I believe my analysis was sound then and is just as sound today. I can best sum up my thoughts and feelings about Laurel and Hardy as follows: They were funny in their heyday; they were still funny in 1977; they are still funny today; and they will be funny always. Except for a handful of additions and minor editing tweaks, I have decided to present my paper essentially as I wrote it in 1977. Thus, this book is an artifact: A tribute to Stan and Ollie written in a long-vanished time three decades closer to them and to their films. |

| About
the Author: |
Rick Helley is a longtime copy editor and lifelong Laurel and Hardy fan. Since July 1958, he has lived in west San Jose, California. Before that, he didn’t live in west San Jose, California. Mr. Helley has never been married, having experienced about as much success with women as Ollie did with “Jeanie-Weanie” in 1931’s Beau Hunks and Georgette in 1939’s The Flying Deuces. Although, like Ollie, Mr. Helley sometimes wishes he could go someplace “to forget,” he is too old and arthritic to join the French Foreign Legion. Laurel and Hardy: They’re Still Funny is Mr. Helley’s second book. His first book, “DEAR LORD, HELP ME!” The Nightmare of My Mother’s Dementia, is also published by and available from Bookstand Publishing.
