Remember the ads that MAD magazine had to encourage you to subscribe? They would have a funny drawing of someone committing suicide because they’d missed an issue.

For example, a guy in a banana suit getting into a gorilla’s cage.

My favorite was the guy lying on the front steps of a school building. A discarded newspaper nearby says it’s the last day of school, and a clock says three o’clock. The doors are just bursting open with the stampede…

I agree that most treatments of suicide are not funny, but these are.
