How to Write Funny Characters by Scott Dikkers

aliibera's review against another edition

4.0

Scott Dikkers knows his stuff and there is enormous valuable advice and information throughout this short book about how to write short comic pieces in prose or dialogue. His insistence on the value of the title/headline for a short comic piece is no surprise based on his history with The Onion (I agree that it is essential for parody but would happily argue with him about whether it is as important or necessary as he posits here).
