Delaf (the pen name of Marc Delafontaine, born October 9, 1973) is a Québécois comic strip writer, cartoonist, animator and scriptwriter.

Born in Quebec in 1973, Marc Delafontaine initially began his career working for the animation studio CINAR as an animator, layout artist and storyboarder for such shows as Caillou and The Little Lulu Show[1] Afterwards, he would later move on to working as an illustrator, illustrating brochures meant to teach French as a second language.

[2] In 2004, Delaf and Dubuc would co-create Les Nombrils, a comic strip that focuses on the social life of three teenage girls, for the Québécois humour magazine, Safarir.

At the 2022 Angouleme Festival, publisher Dupuis announced that they were rebooting the Gaston Lagaffe comic with Delaf as writer.

In March 2022, Isabelle Franquin, André’s daughter and curator of his estate, went to the courts of Brussels to oppose the new comic, which she considered to be an act of fraudulent plagiarism.
