The stories and artwork were by Martin Branner, who wrote the strip for over 40 years. Winnie Winkle is one of the first comics about working women. Winnie's adopted younger brother, Perry Winkle (in fact an imitation of Buster Brown) quickly became the most popular character of the strip. The Chicago Tribune Syndicate launched the comic strip on September 20, 1920. By 1939, Winnie Winkle was running in more than 140 newspapers and sold worldwide. Perry Winkle became very popular in translation as "Bicot" in France, from 1924 on, and as "Sjors van de Rebellenclub" in the Netherlands starting 1938. The translated version inspired Willy Vandersteen, Bob de Moor and Marc Sleen for a long running series of gags named "De Vrolijke Bengels / De Lustige Kapoentjes" published in Flemish newspapers, featuring the typical wooden clubhouse.
