The first book in the series, "The Wicked Wiles of Iznogoud", was published in March 2008. Written by Par Thomas Legrand - 10/05/11 15h13 . Iznogoud is Grand Vizier, to the Caliph of Baghdad Haroun El Poussah (Haroun El Plassid in English, a pun on the historical Caliph, Harun al-Rashid; "poussah" is roughly translated as "oaf"). En gros, Chirac était pour et Sarkozy était contre. The series is set in a fantasy version of the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258), and the main characters live in Baghdad (its capital). Iznogoud gets trapped along with Adulahf with no way out, while the Sultan is able to escape through a second poster unnoticed by Iznogoud. The sailor Iznotsobad brings Iznogoud a tube of toothpaste, an invention as yet unknown in the sultanate, that he (falsely) claims contains an undetectable poison.

A live-action Iznogoud film starring Michaël Youn and Jacques Villeret, Iznogoud: Calife à la place du calife, was released in France in February 2005. View production, box office, & company info. Et vive Iznogoud ! [2] Une série entamée le 21 octobre 1974 brutalement interrompue par le décès de René Goscinny le 5 novembre 1977. The two giants send the Sultan back home and use Iznogoud and Adulahf as chess pieces. Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? The Caliphate is nominally ruled by Caliph Haroun El Poussah (Sultan Haroun El Plassid in English). [4] Bigre ! Iznogoud fetches a thief from the local jail to steal the sceptre. A poor fisherman discovers an ostrich that lays golden eggs when sung a song, and Iznogoud plans to use the eggs to fund a mercenary campaign to overthrow the Sultan. [1] It was eventually recognised that the wicked supporting character ought to be the focus of the strip, and it was renamed Iznogoud. La suite de la série TV Snowpiercer tirée de la bande dessinée de Jacques Lob et Jean-Marc Rochette a dévoilé (...), CONSÉCRATION. vous qualifiez plantu de "dernier caricaturiste du monde", pour faire plus simple simple je dirais :"le dernier des caricaturistes" tant il est mauvais dessinateur et surtout dépourvu d’humour (d’où son succès auprès du grand public...). D’abord, le Grand Vizir est né dans une autre création de René Goscinny, au titre prémonitoire : Le Petit Nicolas. Inevitably, Iznogoud ends up wearing the hat himself and going insane. This is frequently expressed in his famous catchphrase, "I want to be Caliph instead of the Caliph" ("je veux être calife à la place du calife"), which has passed into everyday French for qualifying over-ambitious people who want to become chief. Cela me rappelle l'époque où en qualité de ministre de l'Intérieur, il rêvait de Matignon jugeant tous les autres incompétents. A revolt ruins Iznogoud's plans altogether. Iznogoud buys a magic pencil and paper that will make anyone drawn on it disappear when the paper is torn in half.
