The adorable cover of issue 76 of "Le Journal de Babicinel" (1993), the official magazines of the series. Originally titled "Le Journal de Cococinel" during the first season, they changed to "Le Journal de Babicinel" in the second season due to Babicinel's increased prominence.
This issue is very special because, instead of following the tradition of narrating episodes of the series, it includes a previously unseen story. This story is set chronologically before the Valentine's Day episode (S2E24), adding a new level of depth and context to the narrative. The magazines also featured activities and pastimes.
**STORY:** Babicinel, Cococinel, Cocograss, and Bambee are in the Clover House. Babicinel is sad because Cocometeo, who accepted to be her boyfriend, has gone to Coco-Italy, leaving her disheartened. Bambee suggests cheering her up by writing a love letter. Although Bambee accidentally ruins the first letter with a honey cake, Babicinel doesn't get angry and decides to write another one.
Meanwhile, Cocograss mocks Bambee, calling her clumsy and silly, which makes Bambee feel bad and leave crying. Babicinel follows her to console her, saying: "Bambee, wait! Don't be sad. Do you want to accompany me to send the letter? You are a great friend, and your idea was wonderful."
As they leave the Clover House, a strong gust of wind blows Bambee and the letter into the air. Babicinel, protected by the powers of her magic heart, is safe, but Bambee is in danger of crashing into a spiked tree. Babicinel, desperate, screams: "Bambee!", but she can't do anything due to the wind.
At that moment, the clever bird Hirondella appears and rescues Bambee and the love letter. Hirondella advises them to be more careful with the wind as it is very dangerous for insects. Relieved, Bambee runs to hug Babicinel. Together they go to the mailbox to send the letter. As they mail it, Babicinel says: "Wow, sending this letter was quite a mission!" and both friends start laughing.
THE END
That magazine is the greatest jewel for any collector, not many know it but Babicinel does not appear very often in Cococinel merchandise, finding her is like finding diamonds
