Salim Zerrouki is an Algerian living in Tunisia, cartoonist and observer of political life. He became known for his satirical writing and his black humor.

In this comic, he depicts his own childhood, in the suburbs of Algiers, from 1978, the year of his birth, to 1992, when the government canceled the legislative elections. His mischievous drawing and his stylized caricaturist style go all out to show the burlesque side of the daily life of the middle and working classes.
