Julie Doucet (born December 31, 1965)[1] is a Canadian underground cartoonist and artist, best known for her autobiographical works such as Dirty Plotte and My New York Diary.

[2] Doucet began being published by Drawn & Quarterly in January 1991 in a regular-sized comic series also named Dirty Plotte.

[1] Once back in Montreal, she released the twelfth and final issue of Dirty Plotte before beginning a brief hiatus from comics.

She returned to the field in 2000 with The Madame Paul Affair, a slice-of-life look at contemporary Montreal which was originally serialized in Ici-Montreal, a local alternative weekly.

In 2004, Doucet also published in French an illustrated diary (Journal) chronicling a year of her life and, in 2006, an autobiography made from a collage of words cut from magazines and newspapers (J comme Je).

In spring of 2006 she had her first solo print show, named en souvenir du Melek, at the galerie B-312 in Montreal.

[6] In December 2007, Drawn and Quarterly published 365 Days: A Diary by Julie Doucet, in which she chronicled her life for a year, starting in late 2002.

I wish my work would be recognized by a larger crowd of people as more art than be stuck with the cartoonist label for the rest of my life.

Dan Clowes is mostly a writer, a great artist, and has tried different things, But a lot of those guys, their drawing style never changes—the content neither—and it seems it never will.

[12] In April 2022, Doucet returned to making comics with Time Zone J, published by Drawn and Quarterly.
