Its true about the struggling artist. The underdog.

For comics its also about empathy. Putting yourself in someone elses shoes. If you can "feel their pain" along with your own struggles, too, you can make a joke out of it. Joking about it helps soothe the reality of the pain. Conservatives openly mock the idea of empathy. They pride themselves in only looking out for #1 as if that is the great American ideal. That warps into selfishness, then xenophobia, then hatred for the "other". In that kind of negative atmosphere there is no room for laughter. I think its actually quite sad for these people.
