I'm sure that Richard Prather knew he was joking when he
wrote the Shell
Scott stories; the humor is broad enough to embarrass Mel
Brooks. And some
people -- well, at least S.J. Perelman -- found Dan Turner
funny in the
1930s. I don't think that we had to wait 60 years to see the
humor in those
stories.
