About This Item
American humorist Frank Sullivan [1892-1976], born in Saratoga Springs, N. Y., worked for The Saratogian newspaper until he was drafted in 1917. After his discharge he moved to New York City and worked as a reporter and feature writer. He is best remembered as the creator of "Mr. Arbuthnot the Cliche Expert". In one story, asked what he did for exercise, Mr. Arbuthnot replied: "I keep the wolf from the door, let the cat out of the bag, take the bull by the horns, count my chickens before they are hatched and see that the horse isn't put behind the cart or stolen before I lock the barn door."
