Yorkshire Terrier (Self-Portrait).

—

Dear Dr. Boli: I took my Yorkie to a canine psychologist, and she said that he had a Napoleon complex. But she said not to worry, because it’s part of the breed standard, and all Yorkies have Napoleon complexes. But anyway, it started me wondering: What sort of complex did Napoleon have? —Sincerely, A Woman with a Yorkshire Terrier Who Thinks He’s Emperor of the World.

Dear Madam: Napoleon had a Charlemagne complex. Charlemagne had a Julius Caesar complex. Julius Caesar had an Alexander the Great complex. Alexander the Great was just nuts.
