I first ran across Alan Coren 40-some years ago when he was writing for (and later editing) Punch.  (Somewhere in the archives, IIRC, I have one of his books (I think it's the Idi Amin one), received as a premium for renewing my subscription.)  In those days I was making my acquaintance with the British humorous style, and it took a while to "tune in" on just where he was coming from.  Fortunately for me, I persisted, as did he.
