It is the pseudonym of the Argentine graphic humorist and writer Juan Carlos Colombres. His colleague Faruk found him some physical resemblance to the serial killer Henri Désiré Landru ( ?) , which gave him the idea to sign his works as 'Landrú' and adopt an avatar with a drawing similar to the French criminal. To reinforce the anecdote, he said that he was born on the same day as H. D . Landru was guillotined, which of course was another of his haircuts; he was born almost a year after that execution.
