My esteemed colleague in parody Chris Wood has cobbled together six short stories featuring a fascinating new character completely of his own invention named “Sherlock Holmes.” Apparently this Sherlock goes around solving crimes, aided by his pal, a Doctor Watson…along the way encountering many difficulties of a digestive and execretory-type nature.
