Mister Mulliner

The stories are filled with satire and wit, but I'm curious if they also serve as a subtle critique of class and social norms of the time. Did anyone else feel this layer in the humor?

The framing device of Mr. Mulliner narrating tales in the pub adds a cozy, humorous touch. I wonder if Wodehouse drew from real-life characters or was creating a quintessentially British raconteur.

The punchlines land so perfectly, but I'm curious whether Wodehouse carefully crafted these moments or if they emerged naturally during writing. What do others think about his comedic timing?
