The \u003cem\u003eNew York Herald Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e submits that he is \"as blithe as Benchley...as savage as Swift...surprisingly wise and witty,\" while the \u003cem\u003eTimes\u003c\/em\u003e of London, out of enthusiasm and a profound regard for truth, proclaims that \"Thurber is Thurber.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003cem\u003eFables for Our Time\u003c\/em\u003e, Thurber the Moralist is in the ascendancy.
