Untitled[edit]

I can't even attempt to do TU justice in this first version, but have tried to present a frame for expansion. Note that because his works tend to get published in three languages almost at the same time (French, English, and German), the dates of the books are going to differ. However, some books (such as "S.M.") seem to only be available in one language at the moment.

Moon Man[edit]

Moon Man links to a professional baseball player. It ought to link to the children's book by Ungerer. 76.93.41.50 (talk) 11:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If someone would create a Moon Man entry, I'm sure that could be done. As it is right now, the only "Moon Man" on Wikipedia is Greg Minton... -- stoshmaster (talk) 05:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is Moon Man a traditional picture book? or a short chapter book (text with illustrations)? Oddly to me, the US Library of Congress Catalog lists --probably because it holds-- German and British editions dated 1966 (no early US edition), but 39 and 30 pages, a difference that suggests it is not a picture book. --P64 (talk) 19:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hundred Europeans Maze[edit]

This entry seems suspicious:

I can find no external, verifiable mentions of such a thing. Anyone able to help? If you can, feel free to add it back. -- stoshmaster (talk) 05:40, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trilingual[edit]

Previously we called him a "trilingual writer" in the lead sentence. I changed that to "writer in three languages", which should be the meaning. Does he write for publication in French, German, and English? If yes, that should be explained below or posted in the infobox. If no, we shouldn't say it, or should bury it in the biography where speaking three languages becomes relevant.

Did he begin to learn English pre-war? during Allied occupation? Was he exposed to The New Yorker during Allied occupation? (in the French zone, i suppose). --P64 (talk) 19:00, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"BDSM People"[edit]

He is listed in the "BDSM People" cat, but there is no supporting reference to this in the bio text. Generally speaking all cats are supported by textual citations. Please supply one. Thanks. 75.101.104.17 (talk) 03:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alsatian[edit]

Tomi Ungerer always said he was Alsatian, not French nor German. He was very arsh about France. It would be fair to say he was an Alsatian artist who hold French citizenship. Fred.falcon (talk) 10:58, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Fred.falcon https://www.tomiungerer.com/alsace-terre-battue/?fbclid=IwAR00U25c2YlVtalx9aFDTDwLslZlIExSPCMigM_CKxQJ_6UEllEXZXVsIzE[reply]

I get your point but the question remains : the fact that Tomi Ungerer didn't feel french should'nt be taken into account in a encyclopedic perspective. This is not an objective element. I mean, he was born french and hold a french passport, even if he didn't feel as such. The most reasonable thing would be to write something like : "an alsatian artist of french nationality". And below, if you wish, to add a chapter about his position on french (or german) identity. Guigui169 (talk) 22:47, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Guigui169[reply]
