Comic novelist invested in Wooster next (6)
I believe the answer is:
sterne
'comic novelist' is the definition.
'sterne' can be an answer for 'novelist' (laurence sterne). I'm unsure of the 'comic' bit.
'invested in wooster next' is the wordplay.
'invested in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'STERNE' is hidden within 'wooster next'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sterne that I've seen before include "Writer" , "Laurence ..., author of 'Tristram Shandy'" , "Irish-born novelist (A Sentimental Journey)" , "Laurence ...... wrote ` `Tristram Shandy' '" , "Laurence ---, novelist; sounds hard" .)
