Some of these are quite timely, cos yesterday marked the birthday of Charlie Chaplin, who famously satirised our other birthday boy Adolf H. in The Great Dictator; also, I now know “Jehan Sylvius” was actually one Ernest de Gengenbach, who was one of the more interesting characters considered in that Patrick Lepetit book I read recently. I’d never heard of him before but he was evidently one of the more intriguing and thoroughly odd people to have been tied to the surrealists.
Also, there’s some nudity herein. And quite a few cats.
