Georges Bernier (September 21, 1929 - January 10, 2005) or Le Professeur Choron as he was more commonly known, was a French humorist and founder of Hara Kiri magazine.

He was orphaned by his father at 11 years and without a proper education, he vacillated between many jobs before fighting in the Indochina Wars for 28 months. On his return, he worked in the press, and rose through the ranks to take the position of Head of Sales of a satirical newspaper, Zero. It was here that he met François Cavanna, with whom he founded the periodical.
