Robert Rousso, 1937 – 2021

I’m saddened to write that our dear friend, brilliant CagleCartoonist, and founder of France Cartoons, Robert Rousso, has died.  Many of our CagleCartoonists remember Robert from our trips to France. I’ve attached a few of the cartoons he drew for us at the bottom of this email. I miss Robert. I can still hear him singing “Old Man River.”

Robert started working for the press in 1969. He illustrated with humor science stories in the Courrier de l’Environnement de l’INRA. His cartoons were published among other publications, in Siné Hebdo, La Mèche, Charlie Hebdo, Kamikaze, Barricade, Siné Mensuel, Zélium, and in Corsican press with the pseudonym “Pincu”.  Read more on Robert’s career.
