Another series of British humor/sci-fi/fantasy/alternate reality/time travel books are the Thursday Next detective novels by Jasper Fforde – the first is "The Jane Eyre Affair". If you love Hitchhiker's Guide, you should enjoy the Thursday Next adventures. (There are even subplots involving new ways of delivering books directly to the reader's brain with things like Book 2.0 so your punchline in this comic works for that, too.)

The author has another series of detective books in the same vein that take place within a world populated by fairy tale and Mother Goose characters – I've only read one of these but I really enjoyed it.

when I re-read the synopsis before doing the comic I was like "I dont remember that at all?"

lol, good comic. I like that it's a bit longer than the usual HE comics, and Josh doesn't die in this one!

I had to read Dirk Gently like 3 times before I understood what was going on. But once I understood it, I enjoyed it. "The answers are yes, no and maybe (in that order)."

I forgot that there are books out there without panels and word balloons. Mayhaps all I need is more DA.
