When her husband, Robert Velter, was asked to create the title character for a new magazine, Davine assisted him. This became 'Spirou', which appeared in the magazine of the same name from 1938. In 1939, when Velter was mobilized, Davine, assisted by Luc Lafnet, took over the series for a while, before handing over the strip to Jijé. For Spirou, Davine also created her own series, 'Les aventures de Zizette', which appeared from 1938 to 1939.
