I see you like slapstick comedy. I don’t know if he qualifies as slapstick, but have you tried the works of P.G. Wodehouse? I can recommend almost all of his work, but I especially love Something Fresh, Damsel in Distress, and The Girl on the Boat. re Short stories, his “Mulliner” tales are available in film via “Wodehouse Theater,” which portrayed they faithfully. Very funny!
Have a great day and happy writing!
Cordially yours,
James Kelly [a man in Colorado who happened across you and your site via your tweets concerning our favorite team [hint: they wear Black & Gold;<] LOL!
