I can read French quite well but speaking the language is a different kettle of fish. My email is on the right undeer 'About Me.' I have added a link to the bottom of this post to Le Petit Journal for anyone who would like to investigate the early years of this great comic on their own.john adcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601087030921802835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500704922792766299.post-44531067477516866712011-08-25T08:30:12.886-07:002011-08-25T08:30:12.886-07:00For the firsts syllabes, yes, even if the dierese ...For the firsts syllabes, yes, even if the dierese on Poïvet is tricky because you could use it or not, that depends of the family habits. But, most people would pronunce Poïvet = Poivet.<br />if you french is enough for reading, I can send you scans of Poïvet entry in Larousse's Dictionnaire mondiale de la Bande dessinée.C.

You may be right. Possibly Poïvet was the illustrator from the beginning and the wide variation in style which is obvious was due to a number of ghost help on the strip. I have to wonder (my French is not that fluent)if Poïvet and Poirret have the same pronunciation.john adcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601087030921802835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500704922792766299.post-27203550860193252282011-08-24T10:59:57.027-07:002011-08-24T10:59:57.027-07:00First, thanks for this good blog, second, I’ll try...First, thanks for this good blog, second, I’ll try to put all this in a proper English, but, as I’m not use to, so, sorry for all the unenglishness.<br /> <br />I’m not at all convinced by your theory about R. Poirret being a different artist than R. Poïvet. Your demonstration is brilliant and I was seduce at first. But, there are no traces of a R. Poirret, and all sources that I checked gave C.

Given the similarity of the names, and Poivet's long association with the strip, it's not hard to believe that some early historian mistakenly conflated the two and his error was repeated by later writers.Smurfswackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807173070389349098noreply@blogger.com
