Ducoboo's life isn't easy. Being the king of dunces (while still managing to avoid wearing the 'crown' too often) takes work, dedication and an awful lot of imagination. It also takes a proper target: Leonie, the gifted girl who doesn't like to share her answers with His Majesty. It's a constant war of wits between these two, fought with wigs, cameras and magical pencil sharpeners under the disbelieving eye of the long-suffering teacher. And when school's over, the beach is the new battlefield!
The irresistible rise of Ducoboo is due to the talents of Zidrou and Godi. A former teacher and current creator of songs and books for children, Zidrou is the scriptwriter of several Graphic Novels, notably Ducoboo, which he produces in collaboration with Godi. Godi published his first humorous comic strips in the Tintin Newspaper during the Seventies. Appearing in 1992, their Ducobu Pupil quickly became a favourite character of children.
