The character he drew the most this year? “No doubt Georges-Louis Bouchez… Because he was at the center of the game, because he got involved in it. Because a drawing in which he appears is often a good drawing, even if it should not be falling into the trap of drawing too easily It’s a bit like for Donald Trump With an additional difficulty for the American: he is one of those people for whom it is very difficult to do anything other than highlight the excesses, the clichés. .
