Career

Bagieu created a short animated film entitled No More Laughter. She has created illustrations for advertising campaigns, including for Marie frozen food, on television and on the internet.

In September 2008, she released the first volume of Josephine, a comic which portrays a character commissioned by

Chevalier of Arts and Letters by the Minister of Culture and Communication. On June 19, 2013, the movie Joséphine was released. It was an adaptation of Bagieu's comic strip by Agnès Obadia, and featured leading French actress Marilou Berry.[9] In September 2013, she published the first volume of Stars of the Stars with Joann Sfar. Sfar made the scenario and the Bagieu the drawings.[10] In November 2013, Penelope Bagieu published a humorous cartoon mini tape intended to alert the public about the dangers of profond trawling. Inviting thereafter these readers to sign a petition of BLOOM Association
, the ticket has raised hundreds of thousands of signatures.

In 2016, Bagieu created the blog BD Les Culottées for Le Monde, which was eventually compiled into book form and released in 2018.[11] She created one comic a week for 30 weeks, originally in French. Each comic featured a woman with an unusual or inspiring story. The work was released in French in two volumes with the subtitle Des Femmes Qui ne Font Que ce Qu’elles Veulent (Women Who Do as They Please). In English it was released as one volume with the title Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World. The English version has only 29 stories instead of the original 30, as "Phoolan Devi, the Indian Queen of Bandits" was removed because it included the rape of a 10-year-old girl by her husband. Brazen has been translated into 11 languages, and each version is a little different due to local restrictions.

In January 2020, she published a graphic novel of Roald Dahl works The Witches, her childhood favourite book.[12] An English translation is expected for September 2020.
