Loup was a formidable predator who took pleasure in tearing apart with his teeth and sharp pencils anyone he didn’t like, such as politicians of all stripes, military personnel of all ranks, idiots of all kinds, and other species that were eminently harmful to planet Earth. On the other hand, I never saw him spit his venom at a working-class person, unionist or not, too red or not red enough, he who delighted in ferociously attacking both the good old capitalist in a top hat and the young hyper-neoliberal in expensive jeans and sneakers. An accomplice of Cabu and Siné on Michel Polac’s program “Droit de réponse” on TF1 (especially before the channel was privatized by the supposedly socialist president François Mitterrand for the benefit of the house builder Francis Bouygues), Loup was an integral part of this infernal quartet that made for some of the rare great moments in French television. (…)
A political cartoonist, humorist, and comic book artist, Loup was a scathing critic in the French press, notably in the pages of Charlie Mensuel, Le Canard Enchaîné, Pilote, Fluide Glacial, l’Idiot International, l’Evénement du Jeudi, Marianne, Siné Hebdo, and many other publications. Out of anti-militarist vanity, he also drew on a fighter jet seat, which allowed him to eject immediately once his graphic bombardment of human stupidity was complete. He was an aesthete. (…)
Trained as an architect, decorator, sculptor, and colorist, these are just some of Loup’s many talents, which you can discover, along with many others, from October 13, 2025, to August 14, 2026.
