Adapting the Rhetoric of Authentication of Riad Sattouf’s La Vie secrète des jeunes
Guillaume Lecomte
characters are stylised rather naïvely, their physical traits being distorted and exaggerated in a caricatural fashion. It illustrates the contradictio in terminis , in the words of Pascal Lefèvre, of ‘factual comics’ that convey a truth by building a

Early French Caricature (1795-1830) and English Influence
Caroline Rossiter
This article analyses the production of caricatures in post-revolutionary Paris, specifically the role of publishers and artists and the constraints of censorship within society of that time. By considering such factors in the light of English caricature production, we will outline the exchanges that took place between London and Paris at the turn of the nineteenth century and demonstrate that the two cities' comic print productions were subject to reciprocal influences.

Caricaturing 'The Colonial Good Life' in French Indochina
Michael G. Vann
André Joyeux's La Vie large des colonies ['The Colonial Good Life'] is an insider's portrait of the French colonial encounter in Southeast Asia. Published in Paris in 1912 but most likely penned in Saigon, the collection of cartoons explores the racial order of the colony. Although the artist critiques many aspects of the colony and highlights certain gross injustices, such as the coloniser's sexual predation and physical violence, he also articulates many of the bluntly racist French stereotypes of the Vietnamese, Chinese and other Asians in the colony. Joyeux, as an artist and as an art teacher, contributed to the development of cartoon and caricature as a medium in Vietnam, which would eventually be used in the anti-colonial, nationalist and communist movements. La Vie large des colonies is of importance as a primary source in the study of empire.
