The thread connecting Chekhov's rifle to Chandler's "man with a gun" to humor all rising organically from character is a nice through-line — the surprise that feels inevitable in hindsight. The Dorothy Parker quote up top set exactly the right tone. The reminder that humor has to grow out of the situation rather than get bolted on is one a lot of us need.
Love the title — already practicing what it preaches! The tips and slips framing is such a smart way to make writing advice feel approachable and funny. Great read.
Thanks, Oskar!

You keep writing, I'll keep reading. Hell, I started with Badger from First Comics.
As for humor, specifically scatological humor?
Poop jokes aren't my favorite, but they're a solid number two.
Thank you, try the veal
