French political cartoonist and caricaturist Louis Mitelberg was born in Kaluszyn, Poland; he moved to Paris in 1938 to study architecture. After joining the French army, Mitelberg was taken prisoner by the Nazis in 1940, and he escaped the following year. In England, he joined the French Resistance and launched his career as a satirical cartoonist, moving to France after the war. Using the pseudonym Tim, he created cartoons with a satirical bite and pointed wit, taking on such favorite targets as Charles de Gaulle. In 1982, Mitelberg was honored with the International Cartoonist Award.
