Lewis Trondheim (
Laurent Chabosy), born 11 December 1964, is a French
cartoonist and one of the founders (in 1990) of the independent publisher
L'Association. Both his silent comic
La Mouche and
Kaput and Zösky have been made into animated cartoons. He explained his choice of
pseudonym after the Norwegian city of
Trondheim as follows: "As a last name I wanted to use a city's name, but Lewis
Bordeaux or Lewis
Toulouse didn't sound so good. Then I thought about this city, Trondheim… Maybe someday I will publish an album under my real name, in order to remain anonymous."
