Thank you very much! I've been looking for where
Ken used the "much
needed gap" phrase.
That formulation is funny - but I just got into a discussion with
someone about whether ken was being intentionally funny or not. To me,
it seems rather obvious that he chose that wording for the humourous
effect of the double-take the reader experiences. A couple of friends
of mine, though, insist that that paragraph is just clumsily written.
Is he on record anywhere saying which it is?
