Alphonse Allais was born on October 20, 1854.  We celebrate his birthday here by posting my drawings of him with his curious colleague, Captain Cap, from Captain Cap: His Adventures, His Ideas, His Drinks, available in my illustrated translation from Black Scat Books.

And one picture from the fourth chapbook, which didn’t make it into the collected edition.  Happy birthday, Alphonse Allais!
