''Extricating Young Gussie'' is a short story by British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975), being the first appearance of two of his most popular characters, the ingenious valet Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster. It was first published in the U.S. in the 15 September 1915 issue of ''The Saturday Evening Post'',〔Kristin Thompson, ''Wooster Proposes, Jeeves, Disposes'', James H. Heineman, New York (1992): Appendix A〕 and in the UK in the January 1916 edition of ''The Strand Magazine''.〔Kristin Thompson, ''op. cit.''〕 It was included in the collection ''The Man with Two Left Feet'' (1917). ==Overview==
''Extricating Young Gussie'' features the first appearance of some of Wodehouse's most popular and enduring characters – valet extraordinaire Jeeves (whose role in this debut story is very small) and his master Bertie Wooster (whose surname is not actually mentioned). Bertie's imperious Aunt Agatha also appears. The first meeting of Jeeves and Bertie would be chronicled one year later, in the November 1916 short story ''Jeeves Takes Charge''.〔Kristin Thompson, ''op. cit.''〕 Some elements of the plot of "Extricating Young Gussie" were later incorporated by Wodehouse into a 1918 Jeeves story, "Jeeves and the Chump Cyril."
