Abstract
This study investigated the relationship of motor disabilities and humor ratings of activity and nonactivity cartoons by poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy, and normal children. Poliomyelitis children rated activity cartoons as funnier than nonactivity cartoons. They also rated activity cartoons higher than did cerebral palsy or normal children, and nonactivity cartoons lower than did cerebral palsy children. These differences could not be explained on the basis of age of affliction or motor patterns of the particular disabilities involved.
