Statue Titeuf in Carouge celebrates Titeuf, the mischievous schoolboy created by Swiss cartoonist Zep, the pen name of Philippe Chappuis. First appearing in comics in the early 1990s, Titeuf became a familiar figure in French-language popular culture through stories about childhood, school, friendships and awkward questions. His distinctive blond forelock makes him instantly recognizable to many readers. The statue offers a playful connection to a character created by one of Switzerland’s best-known comics artists.
