Colbert Bump: Being caricatured in this comic has made De Villepin grow in popularity in Francenote Something similar happened in 1995 when Les Guignols de l'Info made a very sympathetic, very funny caricature of presidential candidate Jacques Chirac, who was already pretty funny and Closer to Earth to begin with, and had just been brutally backstabbed by most of his political allies, who supported an opposing candidate from the same party., and has the press gushing about his "fascinatingly hammynote the word used is flamboyant, which doesn't have the campy connotations the loanword took in English megalomania"
