| This one has some great cartoons by French modernist, it's pretty hard to find any info on a lot of these guys other than what is in the brief index. These are elegant little cartoons, no superfluous lines or words. |

| This one is just signed 'Nicolas' and there doesn't seem to be any info about them in the book, mysterious! |

| Siné is one of my favourite cartoonists in the book AND you can even find info about him, in English even, on Wikipedia even! |

| William Steig is now best known for creating the character Shrek (which the films were later based on) but he was a cartoonist and illustrator his entire life. The Lonely Ones is one of his earlier books of cartoons for adults (published 1942), each page has a singular figure, generally in some form of torment although not exclusively and a small caption. The style is pretty different to his later stuff, I prefer it but then again I'm on a modernist kick at the moment, such good brushy lines! |

Hi,
DeleteI like the look of your gallery, it's a pity my French isn't good enough to read it though!
Thanks!
