Why the fuck is comedy forever stuck in being either "memoirs or joke books". What the fuck?
What if I want a novel that's funny and ISN'T a memoir?
Why is the whole fucking genre fucking ruined by this fucking bullshit goddamn it. It pisses me off to no end.

Just look at the memoirs- all by some comedian assholes I've mostly never heard of. Are they physically INCAPABLE of just writing a fictional book instead of drawing from a past that would be better suited in a biography instead?
I'm fucking sick of it.

Familiar with Moore.
Meant to start this but never got around to it.
There's all of like 4 authors in existence today writing comedy as a lead.
Terry Pratchett was one of them.
