Pascal Radulescu drew the adventures of the clown 'Haplea', the first original Romanian comic character. The stories, written by former Romanian parliamentarian Nicolae Batzaria, gave a satirical view on the country's society of the time. Since 1924, the character had appeared in magazines like Dimineata Copiilor, drawn by Marin Iorda, and starred in a 1927 animated film (produced by Iorda) as well as a 1938 stage show. Radulescu drew Haplea's adventures under the title 'Peripetiile lui Haplea' for Universal Copiilor between 1938 and 1940, using the pseudonym Mos Nae.
