In my opinion, you have to have some humor, if only as a catharsis for the gloom. In 1,000 Years of Solitude, there was much to laugh about even though the story line was very depressing. Remember tying the old man to the tree so he couldn't wander away? Pretty funny! Faulkner's While I Lay Dying is another example of gloom and doom that ingests humor into the story as well. So, please don't give up your wry humor. Your writing would be threadbare without it. I am not a writer, but I am an avid reader.
