In his December 1911 Mercure de France column, Guillaume Apollinaire describes Le Passant as follows: "André Blandin and Louis Piérard have just created in Brussels the fantasy journal that was missing in the land of Tyl l'Espiègle. They call it Le Passant. Humor mingles with lyricism, caricatures alternate with serious drawings, it's a new attempt, and Le Passant is not reminiscent of any newspaper in France, or I think in any other country. "
