Françoise Pichard
French cartoonist
Françoise Pichard (born 2 November 1941 in Lion-en-Sullias), also known as Chard and Pscharr, is a French far-right political cartoonist and illustrator of children books.
Biography
Chard has published cartoons in Rivarol since 1967, in Présent since 1982, and in Signal d'Alarme since its foundation in 2006.
On 8 November 1994, she was found guilty and fined the equivalent of approximately €3000 by High Court of France, for complicity in "provoking discrimination, hatred or racial violence" against the black community, for a cartoon published on 4 March of the same year.
On 1 November 2006, she won second place in the Iranian 'International Holocaust Cartoon Competition' with an openly negationist cartoon, in a tie with Carlos Latuff. According to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, her cartoon contains explicit Holocaust denial. On 3 November 2006, she denied having authorised entry of her cartoon in the competition and refused her prize.

Why this record matters
The phrase “french cartoonist” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2957692. VIAF identifies the subject as 73858568. The Library of Congress control number is no2002086825. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1941, 1967, 1982 and 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
