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.
I'm with you, Mike. I love Sempe's work.
