I’ve always admired authors who can write comedically. Just like acting and real life, comedy is the hard one. Neil Gaiman, Terry Prachett, and a few others succeed admirably and are so enjoyable to read that I find myself wishing I could be counted among their ranks. However, I’m not a moron so I’m well aware that I can only admire from a distance and never approach the wonderful comedy of books like “Good Omens”. So, today’s blog is just to remind those who have read great comedic authors to enjoy them a little more often and those who have not to try reading them.
By the way, it’s odd to discover that ‘comedically’ is not a word recognized by my Word dictionary or my Wintson Canadian dictionary. Nope, I had to go online to make sure I wasn’t crazy, that it is in fact a word and not something I cooked up in my mind because I saw a Schoolhouse Rock short. You have to watch to the end to see what I mean.
