Both novels are infused with Portiss deadpan humor, but only the first is typically represented as a comic novel. A novel in which the main character rescues Joann the College-Educated Chicken from her vending-machine contraption, befriends an aggrieved midget who once was billed as the Worlds Most Perfect Little Man, and foils the plans of Grady Bing the Kredit King will tend to get labeled comic. True Grit is quite funny also, but in a more subtle waythis comes across much more in the books prose than in either of the film versions.
Norwood was Charles Portiss first novel, published in 1966, followed a couple years later by True Grit.
