* Jean Richard, due to his involvement with a zoo and a circus, is caricatured as a trainer of lions on page 40 of the comic "
Asterix and the Laurel Wreath ".* In the 1970s Richard featured as a comic caricature in many of the comics of the popular character
Pif . Most of his stories revolved around being a detective investigating a mystery, which the reader also had to solve.* Although Richard appeared as Maigret for many decades, Maigret creator
George Simenon disliked him since he failed to take his hat off when entering a room.References
