* PropagandaMachine: He kept a collection of Nazi propaganda pictures and papers and published it, as well as recalled his own memories of it with testimonies and his own caricature art, in the book ''Propaganda - Histoire de se souvenir'' (''Propaganda - Just to Remember'').

He lived under the reannexation of Alsace and Moselle by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany as a teen during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, which later inspired him {{pacifist}} and antiracist works. From 1956 to 1971, he lived and worked in the USA, supporting the UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement and opposing UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar with his posters and illustrations. When he came back to Europe, he lived alternately between Cork, UsefulNotes/{{Ireland}} (where his wife was from), and the city of Strasbourg (where he was born) from 1976 to his passing at age 87 in 2019.

A revered cultural figure in his native area, he has a museum dedicated to him in Strasbourg. There is an American documentary from 2012 about him, titled ''[[https://youtu.be/cQlWgnerTRc Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story]]''.

He published over 140 PictureBooks ranging from ChildrensLiterature to adult works (as in, [[NotSafeForWork erotic]]), and from the fantastic to the autobiographical, primarily in English, German and French languages (the latter two being the ones he grew up with along with Alsace's particular dialect). He was known for his sharp [[{{Satire}} social and political satire]], his witty aphorisms in the same spirit as some forerunner cartoonists such as the French Honoré Daumier and the German George Grosz, and for being quite the oddball in general.
