The Queen of Comedy

Sparkle Girl and I are working on a book called “Sparkle Girl and the Fairy Note Mystery.” It’s going to be in the form of an illustrated diary. I’m not posting the entries related to the mystery to His Dogness & Friends but some of the other entries can be found in the archives.

The pictures are all Sparkle Girl’s. We’re working on the words together.

At the moment, the plan is for the book’s cover to say, “By Sparkle Girl with hardly any help from Kim Underwood.”

But that may change.

By the time the book is done, the cover may say, “By Sparkle Girl with only marginal contributions from Kim Underwood.”

Whenever I write anything, I read it to Sparkle Girl so that she can tweak it as needed. (We do the same before I post anything to His Dogness & Friends that has her in it.)

The other day, as we were going through one of the diary entries, she added something that made me laugh.

“That’s funny,” I said.

“I know,” she said. “That’s my job – to add the comedy.”
