Alike in the way they’re different.
This was another simple and absurd description. When we draw parallels we frequently compare like things. Adams choosing to write “these two things are similar because their not” caught me pleasantly off guard. I’ve been looking for some funny books of late–the kind that make you laugh out loud. They’re hard to come by. ItContinue reading “Alike in the way they’re different.”

Some SRG Characters & Marketing Images
When I write, I always Googled for images of locations and people who I think resemble my characters. Then I print those images and stick them on a HUGE cork board as a reference during the process.

I’ve been lookingContinue reading ““Call me Eddie, if . . .””

I wish I had a daughter, so …”
The Marx Brothers were masters at subtle and belittling humor. Often the recipients didn’t know they had been verbally assaulted. Here are a few examples: “I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception.” “You know, I’d buy you a parachute if I knew it wouldn’t open.” “RememberContinue reading “I wish I had a daughter, so …””
Forced Poetry Appreciation
Having read my share of bad poetry . . . I did laugh at this one. Imagining torture in the form of Poetry Appreciation, and tying the participants to their chairs is brilliant. Every junior high kid in a lit class has felt like those prisoners. I’ve been looking for some funny books of late–theContinue reading “Forced Poetry Appreciation”
