Little Old Lady Comedy Literary Humor with Exquisite Taste (LOL)

About

We're a group of little old ladies at heart who've traded gossiping on park benches for hunting down the internet's finest comedy. Every evening, we set aside our needlework to read submissions, though the truly hilarious ones leave us in stitches.
We invite you to join our Little Old Ladyhood, where we trade endless scrolling for something more beautiful, perhaps even a little archaic: good comedic literature and cartoons. No need for another dopamine-draining app when you can get your laughs the old-fashioned way!
We welcome writers and readers of all generations and demographics, celebrating diverse perspectives because we believe comedy is at its best when it draws from all walks of life. And yes, we do give priority to GILFs. (Yeah. You know what that acronym means.) Whether you're crafting satirical essays, poetry, or cartoons, consider this is your literary humor sanctuary.
