You MUST-MUST-MUST read him. I HIGHLY advise you get hold of "A Wolf in Frog's Clothing: The best of Alphonse Allais" -- published in THE UK -- paper edition, translated by the great British humorist Miles Kington. Black Scat Books is bringing out Allais's classic Captain Cap stories in 4 volumes. Never before translated into English. In addition to his writing, Allais invented abstract art. Google on!
So who is this Alphonse Eggarland guy? I must Google him.
