My first choice would be Robert Benchley, the funniest writer in his, or anyone else's time. Also, S.J. Perelman and E.F. Benson, author of the Lucia stories.
I quite like the title of his novel.I've read one by Carl Hiaasen (the YA novel Chomp) that had some chuckle-worthy moments.
Dave Barry's column used to have me rolling. His novels were cute, too.
