Roger Gilbert-Lecomte was a French avant-garde poet and co-founder of the artistic group and magazine Le Grand Jeu. The group, associated with surrealists, was "excommunicated" from the movement by André Breton. Gilbert-Lecomte used drugs, in particular morphine, for both artistic and sociological reasons.
Roger Gilbert-Lecomte is read about 17 times a day, in 13 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
