The death of Raymond Devos

category international | arts and media | news report author Thursday June 15, 2006 20:53author by iosaf Report this post to the editors

Raymond Devos the Belgian born, French resident & Francophone Cartoonist, Comedian, Political (& national) satirist has died of a brain hemorrhage today.

He was a very funny man who's humour & wit crossed borders & langauges.
He will be sorely missed. . Everyone who met Raymond Devos liked him. His jokes were both simple & intelligent. He'll be sincerely missed. He made many friends, most of whom will want to attend his sudden funeral. He won lots of important awards for being funny & clever but won't get a state funeral from either France of Belgium. Raymond Devos was in no common sense of the word a popular man. & sincere with it.

He rose to acceptance of his extraordinary talent through circus acts & written puns of astounding complexity. In 1956 He worked with Jean Luc Godard on the movie "Pierrot le Fou".

RIP Raymond Devos (1922 - 2006)
RIP Raymond Devos (1922 - 2006)

Devos was born in Mouscron in Belgium on the 9th of November 1922. He died at his home in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse in Yvelines region of France earlier today. He is survived by his wife Simone Begiun - thier union had no offspring.

Tributes are already pouring in from the international clown and satirist community & fuller obituaries & funeral arrangements will be reported on soon. There will also be links to all francophone newspaper supplemental "special" re-publications of his cartoons. I presume his cartoons being the more accesible since his jeux de mots were just that - French. But jhis photo reproduced as illustration is probably resonant with an Irish readership..,
