In my teens I’d head for the ‘All you can eat’ buffet’ - sneering at those who filled vital plate space with pasta: “Amateurs” we’d call them!

I wouldn’t say a particular character- rather a type. My protagonists are usually likeable, flawed types, who are constantly out of their depth. I think that usually gives scope for humour…

Chris McGuire @chrismcguireauthor.bsky.social · Sep 3

I totally understand why you’d do it that way around. Personally I’m aiming for spectacle and humour, so I work backwards from a ridiculous situation looking for opportunities for jokes and silliness - as experienced by my characters.
