The disaster, which has kept Garfield's family out of their home for months, left its mark on her new Sinister Slapstick slapstick Comedy characterized by broad humour, absurd situations, and vigorous, often violent action. It took its name from a paddlelike device, probably introduced by 16th-century commedia dell'arte troupes, that produced a resounding whack when one comic actor used it to trio, Free Drinks for Ladies With Nuts (with, Garfield flanked by Rachel Lynch-John, and Lisa Townsend, all seen at left as well).
