| - | Born in [[Cairo]] of Armenian descent, Kiraz began his career as a political cartoonist after emigrating to post-[[World War II]] [[Paris]]. In 1959, while he was working for the French [[magazine]] ''[[Jours de France]]'', his boss, [[Marcel Dassault]], had him move from politics to humor. As time passed, Kiraz developed a distinctive and humorous pictorial style of representing women that he called ''Les Parisiennes:'' very thin, with long legs, small breasts, and a pouty face. | + | |

| - | His cartoons are often not only humorous but slightly naughty or erotic, and since 1970 he contributed regularly to ''[[Playboy Magazine]].'' | + | |
