Like the chorus of Aristophanes' Frogs, I'll be croaking about ta spoudaia and ta geloia at NAPS this week: my plenary talk will be on early Christian humour and there will be a panel on my forthcoming, verys serious, book on Pamphilus of Caesarea. Take your pick (or don't).

i tend to trust myself that, at some point, the opening frame for a paper or article will present itself; let's see if this one survives to May!
“Isaac the (ex-)Jew” Andrew S. Jacobs | University of Virginia NAPS 2026 In Kurt Vonnegut’s 1987 novel Bluebeard, the protagonist and narrator of the story, abstract expressionist painter Rabo Karabekian, has a secret locked away in an old potato barn on his East Hampton property. After a summer of emotional turmoil and upheaval, he reveals his secret to a fellow artist: it is a hyperrealistic painting, stretching thirty-two feet long, of sunrise over a European valley on last day of World War II. Karabekian tells us that there are “five thousand, two hundred and nineteen people” in the painting, some “no bigger than flyspecks,” and furthermore: “There is a war story to go with every figure in the picture, no matter how small.” All the horrors of war and hope for its conclusion are condensed in each tiny figure, mutely embodying for viewers an age-old narrative frozen in a single moment. Students of late antiquity, with our relative scarcity of historical sources, are conversant with Karabekian’s technique: taking something small and delicate, rich with detail but frozen in a moment, and spinning out its larger historical importance.
