Franquin was born in Etterbeek in 1924.
Although he started drawing at an early age, Franquin got his first actual drawing lessons at École Saint-Luc in 1943.
A year later however, the school was forced to close down because of the war and Franquin was then hired by CBA, a short-lived animation studio in Brussels.
It is there he met some of his future colleagues: Maurice de Bevere ( Morris, creator of Lucky Luke ), Pierre Culliford ( Peyo, creator of the Smurfs ), and Eddy Paape.
Three of them ( minus Peyo ) were hired by Dupuis in 1945, following CBA's demise.
Peyo, still too young, would only follow them seven years later.
Franquin started drawing covers and cartoons for Le Moustique, a weekly magazine about radio and culture.
He also worked for Plein Jeu, a monthly scouting magazine.
