The International Comedy Festival

43 years graphic humor in Saint-Just! This is an opportunity to support cartoonists and enrich our view of current events! First launched in 1982, it constitutes an innovative heritage for Limousin on the cartoon press. This international event is carried by elected officials, the inhabitants of Saint-Just-le-Martel and many volunteers. From its creation, the show was designed as a place for meetings, synergies and connections between designers of any nationality. It is this energy that has irrigated new projects in France and around the world.

The poster for the 43rd edition of the International Caricature Salon
