While working as a decorator, the young Breton Albert Blesteau showed his drawings to 'Spirou' artist Jean-Claude Fournier. Fournier encouraged him to join Studio Peyo and Blesteau moved to Brussels. After assisting Peyo on 'Les Schtroumpfs' for a while, he was assigned to draw the seventh episode of the 'Benoît Brisefer' series in 1978.

Two years earlier, he had already created his own funny animal comic 'Wofi'. He revived this series with long continuing stories after his work for Peyo. He returned to Brittany in 1982. He teamed up with scenarist Christian Godard five years later to start the series about the baby boy 'Toupet' in Spirou magazine.
