From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Bernhard Victor Christoph Carl von Bülow (short: Vicco von Bülow, born November 12, 1923), more commonly known under the pseudonym Loriot, is a German humorist, graphic artist and director.
He is most famous for his cartoons, the sketches from his 1976 television series Loriot and his two movies, Ödipussi (1988) and Pappa ante portas (1991).
The name "Loriot" is derived from the French word for the Oriole, his family's heraldic animal.
