Albert Dubout
Albert Dubout, 1905-1976, French cartoonist. Dubout's first drawings from 1923 for various French magazines revealed his themes and characters: the scrawny little slipper hero, terrorized by his big-breasted, swollen wife, and especially crowds of people, seen from strange angles and with grotesquely depicted faces, clothing and gestures. From 1929, Dubout illustrated books by, among others, François Rabelais, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexandre Dumas the Elder and Cervantes, published his own albums and drew several posters. In his caricatures, Dubout frequently mocked the "little train of Palavas", which ran from nearby Montpellier, and the tourists who visited his little seaside town from there.
