=== Tropes Associated with his Work: === |
|||
* [[Brick Joke]]: Douglas was infamous for these. It could be several ''books'' before he finally dropped the punch line. |

||
* [[Ridiculous Procrastinator]]: Adams was notorious for turning in scripts late, and during his time as a novelist would often go off to start other projects to get out of finishing the ones with deadlines coming up. It got to the point where his editor took to locking him in a hotel room with nothing but a typewriter when worse came to worse. |
