After a stint in cinema, Kokopello infiltrated the 2017 presidential campaign with his sketch book, alongside activists from the various political parties. Later, he acquired a pass that allowed him to freely move around the corridors of the National Assembly, sketching the daily lives of the MPs in comic strips. In 2021, the Dargaud Le Seuil publishing house published his first comic book, Palais Bourbon: les coulisses de l'Assemblée nationale (?Palais Bourbon: behind the scenes at the National Assembly?).
Mathieu Sapin, an author and illustrator of comic books, creates illustrated reports (such as Campagne présidentielle and Comédie française) where he questions the notion of power and writes stories for young people with other authors (Akissi with Marguerite Abouet and Sardine de l'espace with Emmanuel Guibert). He has even created his own superhero: Supermurgeman! (In French, ?murge? means a drinking session!) He has also directed a comedy on the world of politics called Le Poulain (?The Protégé?).
