À 17 ans, Sempé roule à bicyclette pour un courtier en vins. En 1960, il démarre avec René Goscinny l'aventure du petit Nicolas, dressant une inoubliable galerie de portraits d' "affreux jojos qui tapissent depuis notre imaginaire" (dixit Goscinny). Son humour fin, subtil et allusif allié à un formidable sens du dérisoire caractérisent toute son ouvre. Sa plume traduit sa vision tendrement ironique de nos travers et des travers du monde. Aujourd'hui, Sempé est l'auteur d'une trentaine d'albums. En 1988, il a illustré Catherine Certitude, de Patrick Modiano. Il dessine régulièrement pour L'Express, Télérama, le New Yorker et expose ses dessins et ses aquarelles à Munich, New York, Londres ou Salzburg, où il rencontre toujours un très vif succès.

Liked some of the pictures/jokes, but it was pretty meh on the whole, like wine mixed with water. You know fun ought to be there, but there is very little to be found.

Em traços simples, Sempé consegue a genialidade de transmitir as suas mensagens acutilantes. De forma divertida, Sempé ironiza sobre a sociedade actual e a vida que todos levamos. Brilhante!

Droll, exquisite, wry book of delights. I LOVE THE LINE of his drawings.
