Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I’ve read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I’d love to know if there’s more like them!

    Jack Handey’s short stuff is probably his most famous work, but he also wrote a novel called The Stench of Honolulu.

    John Swartzwelder is another comedy legend, he wrote nearly 60 episodes of The Simpsons, and he has a series of detective-pastiche novels (maybe novellas), starting with The Time Machine Did It.

    I like these books and think they’re along the same lines as Pratchett and Adams, but they are distinctly sillier.
