Roussel studied art at the
Graduate School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. In 2001, he published his first
comic strip,
Raghnarok. He then started a cartoon blog on the internet in July 2004, which made him well known in France. Since then, he has worked for French comics strip magazine
Tchô ! and
Psikopat, and on many others as an author or cartoonist. He replaced
Lewis Trondheim as cartoonist of the comic strip
Donjon Zénith. The popularity of his blog allowed him to become the first "Godfather" of the newly created Paris Comic Strip Blog Festival (
Festival des blogs BD), in 2005. The drawings from his blog were first published in 2008, entitled "Notes". Eleven volumes have been published as of November 2021. Roussel participated in the
French-speaking 24-hour comics day in Montreal in 2008. He started an English version of his blog in November 2009, where he republished all of his posts from the French blog from its start in 2004 in chronological order, at the rate of three posts per week. In 2017, Boulet started a collaboration with the publisher
Delcourt in order to produce Project Octopus, a collection of scientific comic books evoking subjects as diverse as the
exploration of Mars to
philosophy. Four to five books a year are planned to be released under this project. These books are written and drawn by artists such as Florence Porcel, Erwann Surcouf, and Héloïse Chochois, but are edited by Boulet. ==Bibliography==
