Along the Rhine, in the town of Basel, Switzerland is the Caricature & Cartoon Museum. The museum will exhibit original works by the cartoonist Sempé from November 8th until April 13, 2009.
Sempé's work is superb. The world of cartooning is not known for it's subtlety, but Sempé's humor is often understated, rapturously gorgeous, and poetic.
Order my new book MURRAY THE BORD: THE ANGRIEST BIRD IN THE PET SHOP! 72 pages of caged fury! Fun for all! Help support that nice fellow who does this here blog!

I'm with you, Mike. I love Sempe's work.
He is the best. So charming, one wants to be in his world, riding along in that beautiful scene with no care in the world.
