Pif le chien is a comic strip character created in 1948 for the daily L'Humanité[1] by José Cabrero Arnal.
[5] In its early days, Pif served mainly as a pretext for denouncing the injustices of his time: hunger or lack of housing.
Other authors will follow one another on the adventures of Pif and Hercules including, among the best known: Louis Cance, Carmen Levi (only woman to have drawn Pif), Yannick Hodbert, François Dimberton, Michel Motti, Claudio Onesti (Clod), François Corteggiani and Giorgio Cavazzano.
The character is animated in a cinematographic advertising film for the newspaper L'Humanité and directed by Julien Pappé.
On July 1, 2004, following the release of the new Pif Gadget, he returned under the drawing of Bernard Ciccolini and the script of Richard Médioni.
