Born in Pakistan to a Lebanese mother and a Swiss father and raised in Singapore, Patrick Chappatte has lived in New York, Los Angeles and Geneva, Switzerland -- a cosmopolitan life that explains his way of looking at world events.
Chappatte is an editorial cartoonist for Der Spiegel in Germany, Le Canard Enchaîné in France and Swiss newspapers LeTemps and NZZ am Sonntag. He was formerly with the New York Times.
