For the film based on the comic, see Titeuf (film).

Titeuf is a Swiss comic series created by Zep in 1992, which was adapted into a 2001 animated TV series[1][2] and a 2011 film of the same name.[3] It also appears in the dedicated Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tchô!.

Publication history

Titeuf was initially published in the fanzine Sauve qui peut ("Run for your lives") and noticed by Glénat executive Jean-Claude Camano.[4] Zep joined Glénat in 1992 and Titeuf eventually became one of France's most popular comics.[5] The first Titeuf book Dieu, le sexe et les bretelles (God, Sex And Suspenders) appeared in 1993 and sold only a few thousand copies, but the subsequent books gradually won over a colossal readership, and the series is now considered the greatest moneymaker in the French comics market.[6] The series was adapted into an animated TV series in 2001, initially broadcast on Canal J.[7] By 2008, Titeuf was the comic series with by far the largest publication in France, with over 1.8 million copies per year, three times the number of the second most popular series.[8]
