L'expérience démoniaque - Ernest de Gengenbach

Ernest de Gengenbach (1903-1973), used to walk dressed as a catholic priest among his surrealist friends. In 1931 he wrote "La Papesse du diable" signing J. Sylvius with P. de Ruysnes (Pierre Renaud). "L'expérience démoniaque" is from 1945 (1949 for this edition). And you know what is weird ? This post about Satan and esoterism is post #... 666! True!

Aguigui Mouna

Born André Dupont (1911-1999), Aguigui Mouna's first manifesto was to remain on a tree for 16 hours in Golfe-Juan in 1956. Known in Paris all around the "Quartier Latin" (universities district in Paris), you often saw him on a bicycle with a red phone, selling his self-edited mag "Le Mouna Frères". He was nominated "chevalier des Arts et des Lettres" by the minister of Culture Jack Lang. His philosophy was a mix of anarchism, ecology, peace and humour! Kind of modern Ferdinand Lop. Read more in Cavanna, Cabu and Anne Galois, "Aguigui Mouna, Gueule ou crève", Dossiers d'Aquitaine, Bordeaux, 2004.

Daniel "Jivaro" Meurine - Moto anglaise specialist!

"Bigger than life"... That's what you say in English about someone very special, right? Well, Jivaro is "bigger than life"! This guy knows everything about British motorcyles, especially BSA... He's a real "motorcycle enthusiast". I met a lot of riders, bikers or racers during my 25 years of riding, but I never met another Jivaro. He's so unique that Frank Margerin, the french cartoonist (I'll soon post about him) did put Jivaro in various stories. He left Paris few years ago to install his vintage motorcycle repair shop in Auvergne. I didn't see him and his lovely wife Maryse "Jivarette" since that time. Big up to them... If they ever read my stuff!
