Howdy folks!

As the title implies, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any novels that are like the anime Space Dandy?

It's an episodic comic science fiction anime. It's basically a space opera parody that plays fast and loose with the absurdity button. The main character, a rockabilly styled guy named Space Dandy, a weird talking cat-ish alien thing, and an outdated robot.

I've been rewatching it, and decided to see if there's any sort of novel/series that might be like it.

I'm guessing Hitchhiker's Guide will probably be mentioned by someone, lol.

One of the biggest qualifications for long-distance space travel is a high tolerance for boredom. Bowman and Poole seem to be doing OK with their routine, but when I tell you I would have chopped Poole into a million pieces and shot them out an airlock I'm not kidding. I am TERRIBLE at being bored and I read and knit BECAUSE I am bad at being bored. I would never in a million years be able to handle living in a tin can for months at a time flying to Jupiter, I would tear my hair out in frustration!!!! I need NOVELTY and a good space flight should have very, VERY few exciting bits because exciting probably equals bad. It is a great regret of my life that although I find space travel really fascinating, I know that there are many reasons I would actually despise it.
