He confesses to the reader that this probably wasn't ''exactly'' what his childhood was like and that he's forgotten some details over the years. He's not even sure if he really ''did'' wear the bellhop uniform as a child or not, but whenever he imagines his younger self he thinks of himself as wearing that classic red uniform. If we assume that the entire comic is mainly Spirou's somewhat faulty memories of what happened in his childhood, and not the actual events, this could neatly explain away the vague time period and many anachronisms of the series.

''Le Petit Spirou'' is a BelgianComics series that started of a spin-off of the iconic ''ComicBook/SpirouAndFantasio'' comic book series. It is drawn by Tome and Janry, the same duo who drew ''Spirou & Fantasio'' around this time.
At first glance ''Le Petit Spirou'' appears to a typical baby knock-off of a franchise built around adult characters. Spirou in this series is a little boy in elementary school and all the stuff that happens to him is typical everyday pre-highschool kids' stuff: doing homework, suffering through class, playing on the playground or outside... The difference, however, is that, apart from Little Spirou himself, no other characters from ''ComicBook/SpirouAndFantasio'' appear here in child versions. It's not even entirely clear whether Spirou is actually the younger version of the adult Spirou, or really his son. Most stories seem to imply the former, since Spirou's adventures have some very outdated elements, such as a Catholic priest trying to teach them morals. On the other hand modern facilities such as television and video games do seem to exist, so one keeps wondering...
Another huge difference is that the series is not an adventure comic series. It's a [[GagSeries Gag Comic]] with one gag per page. But most of all, and this is the reason for the series' popularity, many jokes revolve around [[SexComedy Bawdy Comedy]] and sexual innuendos.
