Comic strip from La Vie Parisienne.
Chéri Haumé, best known as Chéri Hérouard, was born in 1881 in Rocroi. His grandfather was a printer, and his uncle published Le Narrateur. His father was killed by a hunting accident shortly after his birth, and his mother remarried to a certain Herouard, a direct descendant of Louis XIII's doctor. Chéri Hérouard's first printed artwork appeared in Le Journal de la Jeunesse in 1902, soon followed by publications in Mon Journal.

Hérouard stood out for his fairy tale characters, and was also a pioneer in the comics format. In the following years, Hérouard also worked for La Semaine de Suzette and Petit Journal de la Jeunesse, before in November 1907 he began a collaboration with La Vie Parisienne. For Pierrot, he drew 'Gil Blas de Santillane' (1949), 'Tambour Battant' (1950) and 'Le Capitaine Eclair' (1951). He worked for this magazine until 1952.
