Abe Martins humor Is peculiarly
American and of the type to which
that of George AIDE belongs.
1t has the universal appeal and can
be enjoyed by the bank president and
the ditch digger alike. They both un-
derstand it.
Especially does he touch off all the
foibles, Inconsistencies and anomalies
of the great average and it's the great
average, after all, that counts in the
final critical judgment.
He does this through his medium of
little town characters.
But the medium is only a sieve
through which percolates that kindly
philosophy, tinged with a certain sar-
donicism, which has made the creator
of Abe Martin famous.
