3	Lewis Trondheim (born Laurent Chabosy, 11 December 1964) is a French comics creator and cartoonist, known for being insanely prolific and drawing over 100 titles, from autobiographical and children's comics to conceptual, high-art comics and short strips. He's been on hiatus from comic-making since 2004, partly as burnout from said insane workload.

5	His real name is Laurent Chabosy, and his PenName comes from the Norwegian city of Trondheim. His explanation for this was that "as a last name I wanted to use a city's name, but Lewis Bordeaux or Lewis Toulouse didn't sound so good."

7	Two of his comics, ''La Mouche'' and ''Kaput et Zosky'' have received {{Animated Adaptation}}s done between Canadian and French studios for Creator/{{Teletoon}} and France 3, being adapted as ''WesternAnimation/FlyTales'' in 1999 and ''WesternAnimation/KaputAndZosky: The Ultimate Obliterators'' in 2003 respectively.

9	His notable works include:
10	* ''Les formidables aventures de Lapinot'' a/k/a ''ComicBook/TheSpiffyAdventuresOfMcConey'', a satirical fantasy series where all the characters are animals. He chose this style since FurriesAreEasierToDraw. Ran for 10 volumes.
11	* ''Donjon'' a/k/a ''Dungeon'', co-written by Trondheim and Johann Sfar, a series dealing with a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''-style dungeon through three time periods and with different tones in each story. Not to be confused with ''AudioPlay/LeDonjonDeNaheulbeuk''. His longest-running work at over 30 volumes.
12	* ''Le roi castrophe'', or ''Tiny Tyrant'', a series about the misadventures of the vain and despotic King Ethelbert... who also happens to be a 6-year-old boy -- and a very bratty one, at that. This one is aimed at younger audience than the previous two, with eight volumes published.
13	* ''Monstreux'', following the life of a typical French family of four anthropomorphic birds, save for the fact their pet is a big, blue, multi-limbed monster named Jean-Christophe. Also for children, with three volumes published.
14	* ''ComicBook/KaputAndZosky'', another kid-aimed series, this one about a bumbling pair of villainous aliens who attempt to conquer other planets and enslave their inhabitants, without much success. Two volumes produced.
15	* ''La Mouche'' a/k/a ''The Fly'', an entirely dialogue-free comic about the misadventures of a housefly. Trondheim initially published this one for the Japanese market, but later redrew the series from scratch for French audiences.
