Editing Addison Mizner (section)

==Mizner the humorist==
In 1903 Mizner provided illustrations for ''The [[Limerick (poetry)|Limerick]] Up to Date Book'' of [[Ethel Watts Mumford]] (San Francisco: Paul Elder). It says something about Mizner that he would illustrate this poem:

{{poemquote|
There was a young person of Tottenhem, 
Whose manners, Good Lord! she'd forgotten them. 
When she went to the vicar's,
She took off her knickers
Because she said she was hot in them.}}

In 1902, with [[Oliver Herford]] and Ethel Watts Mumford, he published an annual illustrated ''The Complete Cynic. Being Bunches of Wisdom Culled from the Calendars of Oliver Herford, Ethel Watts Mumford, Addison Mizner''.

This produced such sayings as: "A woman's mind is cleaner than a man's. She changes it more often" and "Many are called but few get up".<ref>{{cite web
