Noun
United States humorist (1889-1945)
Source: WordNetMany of the writers who have inspired me most are outside the genre: Humorists like Robert Benchley and James Thurber, screenwriters like Ben Hecht and William Goldman, and journalists/columnists like H.L. Mencken, Mike Royko and Molly Ivins. John Scalzi
Robert Benchley has a style that is weak and lies down frequently to rest. Max Eastman
