Limaçon

Limaçon ("the snail") is the satirical name given to a character created by Charles Etienne Boniface in 1825 in order to attack his former colleague and friend, J. Suasso de Lima. The name became part of a series of biting satirical monologues and duologues performed and published in Cape Town by the two men, including Zamenspraak tusschen Limançon een Dichter en een Prozaisch Gaskonjer (De Lima) and De Twee Slakken, of Limaçon, Sen. en Limaçon, Jun. (Boniface) .
