Spirou Comic Online

Created by Robert-Vel (Rob-Vel) in 1938 for the launch of Le Journal de Spirou , the character was initially conceived as a hotel bellboy (a groom ). His iconic uniform—red tails, a black collar, and a peaked cap—was a standard issue for the profession at the time. In these early strips, Spirou was a mischievous, somewhat roguish figure, accompanied by his pet squirrel, Spip.

Originally a simple hotel bellhop (or "groom"), Spirou eventually evolved into a globetrotting reporter. Despite the career change, he is almost always seen in his iconic red bellhop uniform. spirou comic
