FRANK SULLIVAN Frank Sullivan (1892—1976) claimed that his career as a
humorist began at the New York World, after he wrote a long obituary of a
socialite who turned out not to be dead. He began contributing to Tbe New
Yorker in 1926; his cliché expert, Mr. Arbuthnot, testified in the magazine
from 1935 to 1952. Sullivan was also known for the annual Christmas poem
“Greetings, Friends!,” which he wrote for forty-two years, until 1974. |
