[3] Cabu started out studying art at the École Estienne in Paris and his drawings were first published by 1954 in a local newspaper.

His time in the army caused him to become a strident anti-militarist and adopt a slightly anarchistic view of society.

He continued working in political caricature for Charlie Hebdo and Le Canard enchaîné.

His popular characters include Le Grand Duduche and adjudant Kronenbourg, and especially Mon Beauf.
