Lefred Thouron

Lefred Thouron is a cartoonist and writer born in Nancy, France in 1961.

Biography

First cartoons published in 1984 in "Hara-Kiri". Following, his work will be published in the weekly news magazine "L'événement du Jeudi", the daily "Libération", "7 à Paris", "La Grosse Bertha", the legendary weekly "Charlie Hebdo" (which he leaves in 1996 following the «Patrick Font » controversy). Having authored 20 or so books, Lefred currently works for the icon of French irreverent political press, "Le Canard Enchaîné", where he is one of the chief contributors with Pétillon and Cabu; "l'Équipe magazine" where he publishes a weekly page that covers sports news; "Fluide Glacial" where he contributes humorous illustrations, cartoons, articles and photo-stories.

He has developed an instantly recognizable style that is boiled down to essentials, incisive and whose wacky perspective makes even the most dramatic events funny.

As a writer, Lefred-Thouron has collaborated with Yan Lindingre on « Les carottes sont crues », a spoof on the "organic" craze, has brought back to life "The Adventures of Super-Dupont" with Gotlib and Solé in the magazine Fluide Glacial, and above all, has worked with Diego Aranega to produce « Casiers Judiciaires », slices of life in a provincial courthouse, recently published as a collection by Dargaud.
