He already had experience creating comic strips. Dissatisfied with this, Hergé wanted to write and draw his own cartoon strip. In addition to editing the supplement, Hergé illustrated L'extraordinaire aventure de Flup, Nénesse, Poussette et Cochonnet ( The Extraordinary Adventures of Flup, Nénesse, Poussette and Cochonnet), a comic strip authored by a member of the newspaper's sport staff.
