James L. Ford’s article, “A Century of American Humor,” ran in Munsey’s Magazine, p.482-90. Tenney: “The brief section on MT attributes the lasting quality of his work, both humorous and serious, to ‘the philosophy and truth which are its essential qualities.’ The accompanying drawings of the authors discussed are all by the same illustrator, N. Stein, and the sketch of MT is ordinary” [Tenney: “A Reference Guide Second Annual Supplement,” American Literary Realism, Autumn 1978 p. 172].
