HUMOROUS WRITING
: Sir-With P. W. Jackson, I would like to see more articles such as "Bardell’s Gremlins" by F. L. Combs. Until lately we seemed to get more sketches ‘and articles of the lighter type which still kept to the general high standard of The Listener. Humour does not need to be what is often called "a funny story," and The Listener evidently used to get a supply of cleverly written stuff. Has the supply fallen off, or are the writers perhaps not encouraged nowadays? I would like to say a word of appreciation to the artist whose sketches and illustrations are scattered through your pages, but even these do not seem as plentiful as they used to be. His caricatures are at times superb. Even as a™ victim I have thoroughly enjoyed the various guises in which I have found myself portrayed at his. hands; I hope you will give us plenty of his clever work.
