My Take
Laurent "Riss" Sourisseau is far more than a cartoonist to me; he is a study in conviction. Drawing satire for Charlie Hebdo since 1992 and rising to become its majority owner, he turned ink into a frontline weapon against power. His 2020 Prix du livre politique signals that his influence runs through words and ideas, not just images. What strikes me most is the sheer resolve it takes to keep that pen moving under unimaginable pressure. I admire the quiet steel behind the satire, and I think history will treat him as a defender of expression itself.
