Clue #2
The author's name is not in the onnicle, but his opus and three of its main characters are.

PEANUTS!
Lucy and Linus (van Pelt), and Brown, Charlie
Very sly.
Onnicle: The neurotic Mr. Watson only felt completely secure if carrying a Lexan© dermal implant, Viagra©, ham biscuits (at least two, no particular brand) and his former girlfriend’s silver bellybutton ring.
Clue: …And if he knew help was a phone call away.

A.G. Ding-a-ling!
Onnicle: Joe told his friend: you can't scuba down a full fathom, assuredly: the guage showing how much air is still contained is on empty.
Clue: shed some light on the subject.

Thomas A. Edison!
When novice fisherman Gerard Le Roux (incongruously tow-headed) almost landed a dolphin with hook and line on a Saturday excursion, the charter-boat captain admonished, “Watch it, Le Roux, that’s a protected species!”
Clue: Austrian by birth, this historical figure made his reputation elsewhere.

ADOLF HITLER
My sons Alfred, Eric and Harry all play ball in the soccer league. Their eccentric coach, Francois, is much opinionated and egotistical, but I like him. He treats the boys well and fairly, and doesn’t seem to mind my occasional butting in.
You see, I am the quintessential “soccer mom,” giving my time and energy to shuttling the boys to their games, attending school functions, and making impromptu trips to the skate park, mini golf and Water World. Their father is an avid fan, but I think I’m number one. In a flat second I can be ready to go -- gear on, keys in hand, eager for the major vicarious rush of fierce competition!
The author and his opus are contained in the onnicle.

FREDERIC FRANCOIS CHOPIN!
Imptomptu number 1 in a-flat major (a matter of opinion, of course.)
Jimmy opened his new lounge every night, nine o’clock. Now, parading an unusually lissome model could conceivably attract rough trade. Nevertheless, each young guy emerging or re-entering got everything he asked. Rhinestone rings (implying sensuality or not) rarely incited new guests - or staff - to a real riot.
Clue: Initially, dancing to their music made lounge-owner Jimmy (who refers to himself as a fat slob) eat less, but he soon recovered from that!

FREDERIC FRANCOIS CHOPIN!
Imptomptu number 1 in a-flat major (a matter of opinion, of course.)
I could have said "the composer and one of his opera..." but I thought that sounded somewhat stuffy. I was in no way implying that Impromptu No.1 in A flat major is Chopin's best work. I happen to like the Nocturnes in C minor, F# minor and B major the best. Hiding one of those in an Onnicle would have been more of a challenge!

Are we having trouble with fat-arse Jimmy and his lounge of questionable repute? There is a second - and very straightforward - clue hidden in the clue that accompanied the original post.

I got it Yesterday, but I Should Have Know Better than to think I could construct a new one Any Time At All without Help.
