About Us
The zoo stew is a company trying to set itself apart from other companies but occasionally ends up looking just like every other company. We are desperate to be, witty and it is through our use and misuse of language, imagery and evocative messages that we on occasion hit the mark. Though that is entirely speculative as we, the writers, could never entirely predict what you, the reader might find funny, edgy, witty etc.
The devices we use are incongruity, exaggeration, absurdity, anger, some rage (though unfortunately not a lot as it dissuades advertisers), funny names and unbelievable numeric values (Eg: Man eats 50,000 pies). Some people might think we are edgey or even avant garde but we’re not.
It’s quite disturbing how efforts like this to be honest and clear come out only as the driest form of sarcasm. Unfortunately or thankfully, not too sure, the sad irony that the more screwed up the world becomes the easier it is to write a joke is not lost on us.
We look forward to the day about ten to twenty years from now when technology has developed far enough for us to be able to sit in a room and communicate via voice translators to monkeys, birds, cows and all the animals in the world and try to write truly universal comedy.
