The author of two richly satirical works devoted to George W. Bush and Nicolas Sarkozy (just the mention of their names causes hilarity), Vadot confirms his multi-talent as a storyteller in Maudit Mardi!, highly acclaimed by far-sighted web users. For this we thank them!

Nicolas Vadot
Born in 1971, Nicolas Vadot published his first cartoon in Le Vif/L’Express in 1993. In 1999 the magazine’s editors gave him his own weekly page, "La Semaine de Vadot", for his cartoons on national and international political affairs, and then page 3 of the daily newspaper. He also drew regular cartoons for the daily "L’Echo". His drawings won him several international accolades. They were compiled in a number of collections: The George W. Bush Years, 200 dessins qui fâchent, Onde de Choc and Casse-toi pauv' con!
An atypical cartoonist, in 2001 Vadot published the trilogy Norbert l’Imaginaire and then 80 Jours, both co-scripted by Olivier Guéret. In 2009 he brought out his first solo album, Neuf Mois, followed in 2011 by the first volume of the diptych Maudit Mardi!
