Dear old Bicky, though a stout fellow and absolutely unrivaled as an imitator of bull-terriers and cats, was in many ways one of the most pronounced fatheads that ever pulled on a suit of gent's underwear.
In P.G. Wodehouse's "My Man Jeeves," the character Bicky is portrayed as a robust individual who excels at mimicking animals, particularly bull-terriers and cats. His talent for imitation is noted as exceptional, setting him apart from others in that regard. However, despite this unique skill, Bicky also has a reputation for being somewhat foolish or lacking in intelligence, as highlighted by the phrase "one of the most pronounced fatheads."
This contrast between Bicky's talent and his perceived foolishness creates a humorous dynamic. Wodehouse effectively captures the essence of the character, as he navigates social situations with a blend of charm and naïveté. This blend of strengths and weaknesses contributes to the light-hearted satire that characterizes Wodehouse's writing style throughout the book.
