Behind the Laughter

T. R. Francis in "The Haw-Hawed Couple"

T. R. Francis is a parody of J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter book series.

In "The Haw-Hawed Couple", Francis was depicted as an old lady in a picture on one of the Angelica Button books. This is a major inconsistency between "The Haw-Hawed Couple" and "The Book Job".
