| l'Assiette au Beurre |
 l'Assiette au Beurre was recognized as one of the most poignant satirical journals. From its founding in 1901 until it closed its doors in 1912, it hammered the privileged few who held assiette au beurre. The phrase, according to Stanley Applebaum who published a summary of the magazine, has several connotations. It conjures images of fat cats in cushy jobs or the "fat of the land" which was disproportionately held by a privileged few.Hermann-Paul was featured several times by the journal. While many contributors packed a wallop, his criticisms were considerably more subtle. Many of his cartoons documented uncomfortable encounters between rich and poor in public places. |

| La Guerre Sociale |
 Founded in 1906 by Gustave Hervé, La Guerre Sociale quickly became the definitive paper of the anti-militaristic political Left. The rise of German militarism prompted Hervé to refute his former self. He replaced the slogan "No to war" with "Defense first" as his own ultra-pacifism gave way to extreme nationalism. In 1916, La Guerre Sociale formerly joined the political right when it changed its name to Victory! For Hervé, the change was permanent. With the zeal of a recent convert, Hervé became one of the leading figures of French fascism. In 1927, he helped form the National Socialist Party and entrusted its leadership to the extreme rightwinger, Marcel Bucard.
