HOW TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS FROM THE APES

Will Cuppy was one of the original staff of Harold Ross's New Yorker and the author of How to Be a Hermit and How to Become Extinct. He is also, says P.G. Wodehouse in his introduction to the present volume, "the author of the best thing said about Pekingese, viz. ‘I don't know why they should look so conceited. They're no better than we are.'" This quip sounds the characteristic Cuppy note: concisely expressed misanthropy, a.k.a. pith and vinegar.
