In July 2007, I got an email from a relative of the famous humorist Jean-François Mercier, who was really known primarily through his one man show entitled LE SHOW DU GROS CAVE (THE SHOW OF THE BIG IDIOT) in Québec. She wanted to offer him for his fortieth birthday a special gift, that is a per photo caricature. Between you and me: what an excellent idea ! I did it on time and the caricature was offered in August. You can see two photos of Jean-François holding the cartoon in his hands, looking happy and laughing.
In February of the following year (2008), a week night when I was pretty bored trying to find something on TV worth watching, I fell on the TV program Caméra Café (Québec version). Looking at the credits, I saw my name ! Litterally, I fell down my chair ! You can imagine ... THE TOTAL SURPRISE ! A new character of a blind lawyer, played by François Morency was named Marc Pageau ! Later in that same generic, I saw the name of Jean-François Mercier as one of the writers. That can only come from there ! What an incredible surprise !
Mr. Mercier thank you very much !
You can read all the story of the character Marc Pageau on the TV show CAMÉRA CAFÉ on the online encyclopedia Wikipedia (in French but you can translate it via Google) ...
I'm waiting for your RIPOSTES IN BURST...
