Wolinski, lover of beautiful bodies

At the end of the 60s, Madie, who was then… Madame Hervé Poulain, remembers very well her first meeting with Georges Wolinski. “It was in 1967, on the beach of Juan-les-Pins (Alpes-Maritimes. Ed.), where two little girls spent their time drawing. I asked them who taught them to hold a pencil so well when their father arrived. Having recognized him, I greeted him with a “Hello Mr. Wolinski” which surprised him. » It is the starting point of a meeting which will have an unpredictable extension.

At the time, Wolinski, Cabu, Reiser, but especially Cavanna and Professor Choron, the two historical founders of Hara Kiri, were only considered as bad guys, vulgar, in short, unfriendly people, even if Françoise Giroud would say ?them in 1976: “When I look for twenty years for what has marked a renewal of thought, reflects a new sensitivity and responded to the needs of a new layer of readers, I see only one creation, it?s Hara Kiri Hebdo. » Madie then works on a thesis for her doctorate in law, the subject of which is... political offenses. As for information, she has just stumbled upon a vein. The satirical weekly has been regularly banned by Raymond Marcellin, Minister of the Interior, since the events of May 1968.
