The board game "cochon qui rit" ("laughing pig") was born in a Lyonnais bistro in 1932. A grocer, Joseph Michel, was a regular there. In those days, the round was not played on 421 but on "cochon".
Three dice were rolled and, depending on the number shown and the combinations, the regulars drew a pig on a sheet of paper in pencil. The last person to complete his pig paid for his round (source: lemonde.fr).
