Édika

Édika (Édouard Karali), together with Marcel Gotlib, is one of the main authors of the satirical magazine Fluide Glacial. Born in Egypt, Édika started his career in advertising illustration, but soon published in the renowned French comic magazines Charlie Mensuel and Fluide Glacial. He found his true home base in the latter magazine. His work also appeared in Pilote and his brother Paul Carali's Psikopat. Édika is known for his strange and absurd humor, which makes him one of the true masters of French humor. His work is collected in several albums, such as 'Débiloff Profondikum', 'Pyjama Blouze', 'Melon Bago' and 'Pom-Pom-Pidou-Waah'. A number of his comic strips have been translated into English (published by Knockabout Comics), Spanish, Italian (in the magazine Totem comics), German (published by Alpha Comics), Swedish (published by Epix), and Finland (published by Like).
