Concept
Concept
Peyo created Poussy on January 22, 1949, for the Belgian newspaper Le Soir. It was his second series after Johan and Peewit, created three years earlier. It was also published in the comics magazine Spirou and released in album format by the Dupuis editions. The main character in the series is Poussy, a black-and-white cat who exhibits normal cat-like behavior, such as trying to catch mice, find food, and run away from danger. His owner is a nameless little blond boy. All the gags are mostly without dialogue. Originally the gags were published in Le Soir in black-and-white. From 1965 on, Spirou published the series in color. In 1969, Peyo's assistant, Lucien De Gieter, took over the series until 1973. In 1976 and 1977 the colorized gags were finally published in album format; three albums have been published.
