I'm in shock

Claire Bretécher (1940-2020) was a French cartoonist, known particularly for her portrayals of women and gender issues. Her creations included the Frustrés, and the unimpressed teenager Agrippine.

Bretécher was born in Nantes and got her first break as an illustrator when she was asked to provide the artwork for Le Facteur Rhésus by René Goscinny for L'Os à Moelle in 1963. She went on to work for several popular magazines and in 1969 invented the character "Cellulite". In 1972 she joined Gotlib and Mandryka in founding the Franco-Belgian comics magazine L'Écho des savanes.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she published successful collections, such as The Destiny of Monique (1982). In 2001, Bretécher's series Agrippine was adapted into a 26-episode TV series by Canal+. (Wikipedia)

Remembering the uniquely talented and versatile Terry Jones. I'm pretty sure that you didn't know that he wrote the screenplay for Jim Henson's Labyrinth, did you?

Please meet Captain Cardboard

Cardboard boxes, my childhood's creativity gears.

"Cardboard is a generic term for heavy-duty paper-based products having greater thickness and superior durability or other specific mechanical attributes to paper; such as foldability, rigidity and impact resistance." (Wikipedia)
