    Indeed and thank …

    Thurber is unique
    as is:
    Twain
    Shakespeare
    Wayne & Shuster
    Lenny Bruce
    don marquis
    Walter Mathau
    Charlie Chaplin
    John Stewart
    Buster Keaton
    et al
    That is how humor works.
    It is the hardest trade available to those with a sense of humor.

    Everyone unique
    The only best way to be.

    nb: “are” by definition is plural and therefore not unique.
    Hence “is”
