Jean Cabut (13 January 19387 January 2015), known by the pen-name Cabu (), was a French comic strip artist and caricaturist. He died in the January 2015 shooting attack on the ''Charlie Hebdo'' newspaper offices.〔〔 Cabut was a staff cartoonist and shareholder at ''Charlie Hebdo''.〔 ==Career== Cabu started out studying art at the École Estienne in Paris and his drawings were first published by 1954 in a local newspaper. The Algerian War forced him to be conscripted in Army for over two years, where his talent was used in the army magazine ''Bled'' and in ''Paris Match''. His time in the army caused him to become a strident anti-militarist and adopt a slightly anarchistic view of society.〔(Obituary ) in the ''Daily Telegraph'', 7 January 2015.〕 In 1960, after he left the Army, he became one of the founders of ''Hara-Kiri'' magazine. In the 1970s and '80s, he became a popular artist, collaborating for a time with the children's TV programme, Récré A2. He continued working in political caricature for ''Charlie Hebdo'' and ''Le Canard enchaîné''. His popular characters include ''Le Grand Duduche'' and ''adjudant Kronenbourg'', and especially ''Mon Beauf''. So spot-on was this caricature of an average, racist, sexist, vulgar, ordinary Frenchman that the word 'beauf' (short for "''beau-frère''", i.e., brother-in-law) has slipped into ordinary use.〔Larousse Dictionary definition of "beauf", cf. online edition http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/beauf/8522〕 In February 2006, a Cabu cartoon which appeared on the cover of ''Charlie Hebdo'' in response to the Danish cartoons affair caused more controversy and a lawsuit. It depicted the Muslim prophet Muhammad under the caption "Muhammad overwhelmed by fundamentalists", crying "''C'est dur d'être aimé par des cons''!" ("So hard to be loved by jerks!"). From September 2006 to January 2007, an exhibition entitled ''Cabu and Paris'' was organised at the Paris city hall.〔''Cabu et Paris'' (Hoëbeke, 2006).
