Jean-Jacques Sempé usually known as Sempé (born 17 August 1932 in Bordeaux) is a French cartoonist. Some of his cartoons are quite striking but retain a sentimental and often a somewhat gentle edge to them even if the topic is a difficult one to approach. He once drew a series called Le petit Nicolas starting it in the 1950s but he is best known for his posterlike illustrations usually drawn from a distant or high viewpoint depicting detailed countrysides or cities.
