Sans oublier de dédicacer cet article à monsieur Joseph PINCHON

dessinateur de notre chère Bécassine
de son vrai nom Annaïck Labornez  (en 1905)

I have to dedicace this post to Mr Joseph PINCHON
who is the creator of our Bécassine in 1905,
our famous Breton housemaid as cartoon character
parue dans la "semaine de Suzette"

The character Bécassine is a young Breton housemaid, usually depicted wearing a green dress pastiching traditional Breton peasant costume, with lace coiffe and clogs. She is said to come from Finistère, the area most associated with traditional Breton culture. She is usually portrayed without a mouth.

Bécassine is a comic strip and the name of its heroine, appearing for the first time in the first issue of La Semaine de Suzette on February 2, 1905. She is considered the first female protagonist in the history of comics.

Seen as a stereotype and remnant of the contempt with which the Bretons were long seen, she is the typical provincial girl as seen by the more refined city people of Paris, the target audience of the young girls' magazine La Semaine de Suzette. But over the course of the stories, and coupled with the success she has, she is depicted more and more favourably. "Bécassine" is a nickname, derived from the French word for a number of birds of the family of the snipe, which is also used as a way of saying "fool" in French.
