My friend and I have fully-fleshed out a comedic idea for a book, in a similar format to Jack Handy's "Deep Thoughts" (in that each page is a sentence or two). We would like accompanying illustrations for every couple of pages.

My question is how to go about getting this published? I'm completely new to publishing, so I'm not sure who I should talk to to communicate the idea. Is self-publishing or corporate publishing the best way to go about this?

Why not both?

Dean W Smith often recommends this. Self publish the book, and then send a copy to traditional publishers. Many legacy publishers now buy top selling Indie authors.

Selling to legacy publishers will be hard, unless you are already famous, or a best seller. If you publish it yourself, you can start making money immediately, and later on, may sell to a traditional publisher, if you get a good deal.
