For those of you not familiar with ComicWonder, it’s a website for joke telling far beyond the bland forwarded email.  Think “forwarded email jokes meet You Tube” and you’ll start to get the idea.  Users submit their own audio jokes to the site in a variety of ways and from there are voted on by the rest of the community.

Most importantly, Comic Wonder is a shining star in the Milwaukee startup community, and hopefully their success will become contagious.

A public-private partnership would fund the center.

Any improvement in the Wisconsin business climate, especially for small and new businesses is a big help to us. Consider Fresh Coast Ventures on board the band wagon for the new venture center.
