Corey Ford (born April 29, 1902, died July 27, 1969) was an American humorist, author, and screenwriter. He is best remembered as the person who named Eustace Tilley, the dandyish, top-hatted symbol of The New Yorker magazine. According to Ford's memoir, The Time of Laughter, the last name came from a maiden aunt and he chose the first name "for euphony." However, it appears that he may also have taken "Eustace" from Eustace L. Taylor, a Delta Kappa Epsiolon fraternity brother from his alma mater, Columbia College of Columbia University.
