I don't know who wrote it as the title alone doesn't give any indication of the author.
Ned Vizzini wrote 'It's Kind of a Funny Story'.
The person who wrote 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' is Ned Vizzini. His writing style and the way he developed the story made it a popular choice among readers.
I just thought of some funny things that happened in daily life. For example, once I saw a dog wearing sunglasses and it looked so cool and funny at the same time.
It could be a story full of humorous dialogues. Picture this: a group of aliens land on Earth and try to communicate with humans using a translator that keeps malfunctioning, so they end up saying really absurd things like 'We come in peace, we want to borrow your toothbrushes'.
A stand - up comedian like Jerry Seinfeld could be seen as such. He has a particular way of observing the everyday absurdities and turning them into hilarious stories on stage.
I'm not sure specifically as the title is quite vague. It could be about any number of humorous events or situations.
Craig Gilman is likely the main character or the person whose story is being told.
The humor might come from the way the story is told. If it has a lot of vivid descriptions of funny expressions or sounds. Like in a story where a parrot imitates a person's sneeze in a very exaggerated way. It makes the story more engaging and funny.
The unexpected twists usually make it funny. For example, if a character is supposed to be very serious all the time but suddenly does something completely silly like dancing in the rain without any reason. That kind of deviation from the norm can be a great source of humor.
There could be a goofy animal character. Maybe a cat that always tries to catch its own tail and ends up spinning around in circles.
