I believe it was back in 1939 when a very popular author, James Thurber, wrote a short novel about an unusual man he named “Walter Mitty.” It became so well read that it was produced for Broadway, made into a movie around 1947 — which I remember watching — and remade in 2013. If you’re one of those purists, I guess you won’t like my position, but I really liked Danny Kaye and Ben Stiller, who played the role of Walter Mitty.
