About Benjamin Rabier
- Benjamin Rabier (1864–1939) was a French illustrator, comic book artist and animator.
- He became famous for creating La vache qui rit and is one of the precursors of animal comics.
- His work has inspired many other artists, notably Hergé and Edmond-François Calvo. A native of La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée, Rabier started to work as an illustrator for various newspapers after meeting Caran d'Ache.
- His first album for children was the story of Tintin Lutin, published in 1887, which told of a young lutin or "imp"; here his main characters are human and not animals, as they came to be in later albums.
- His most famous creations are Gideon the duck and the characters he drew for Le roman de Renart. He died at Faverolles, Indre, in 1939.
