She is most commonly associated with fellow Belgian comics writer Hergé (Georges Remi) and his Adventures of Tintin series.
In Brussels she met cartoonist Joseph Loeckx, also known by his nom de plume Jo-El Azara, creator of the character Taka Takata.
Baujot was hired in 1953, and eventually became Hergé's main colorist, along with Edgar Pierre Jacobs.
Despite having differences and often arguing over ideas and plans, Hergé admired and respected Baujot, and they remained close friends.
In his unfinished and final work, Tintin and Alph-Art, Hergé drew a new character named "Josette Laijot", an owner of a gallery, based on Baujot.
