The character Spiff was created by José Cabrero Arnal for the French Communist Party newspaper L'Humanité on 28 March 1948 and the cat Hercules was introduced two years later.

A series of 65 26-minute animated cartoons featuring the characters was produced in 1989 by Europe Images/M5 in France.
United Kingdom television station Channel 4 aired the series in 1993.
