 Saint-Ogan is called the "founding father" of French comics, but his involvement with the colonial and imperialist agenda of France in the mid-1900s is often overlooked in the studies of both French-language comics and French imperialist culture today.His production of colonial propaganda, both by commission from the French government and in his own private enterprises, spanned a wide variety of genres and disciplines, and he was particularly involved with the 'Exposition Coloniale' of 1931.When the French Communist party stood up in opposition to the Exposition and its imperialist ideology, he contributed to the parody of their newspaper, essentially mocking their anti-imperialist views and showing strong support for the colonial discourse of the Exposition.
