Florent Ruppert (1979) and Jérôme Mulot (1981) meet at École nationale supérieure d'arts in Dijon and start their collaboration in 2002. Their comic strips are published by various alternative fanzine, like “Bile Noire” and “Le nouveau journal de Judith et Marinette”. Jean-Christophe Menu, enthusiastic for their stories for “Ferraille Illustré”, asks them to publish their works for l’Association. The collaboration with l’Association starts in 2005 with Safari Monseigneur, which takes Ruppert & Mulot to a wider audience. In 2007 their Panier de Singe is prized with the “Prix Révélation” at Angoulême Festival.
Le Tricheur and Sol Carrelus are published in 2008, followed in 2009 by the first volume of Irène et les clochards, in which the authors show their scriptwriting skills, creating a delicate and moving story.
