Initiated by “Soulman” André Kadi, a cartoonist from Quebec, Je me souviendrai came together while large student protests were underway and negotiations between student unions and the Quebec government had broken off.

Fred was one of the first artists approached to participate in the project that was eventually printed by La Boîte à bulles, a publishing house based in France.

Put together in two weeks, this 250 page book illustrates how these student protests became a social movement in Quebec. Fred illustrated about thirty pages, two dozen of which helped portray N’a Plus Sommeil Qui Veut, a text written by his friend and author, Simon Brousseau. All royalties were given to Amnesty International as well as one of Quebec`s biggest student unions, l’ASSÉ (Association pour une solidarity syndicale étudiante).
