The Chained Duck has been reduced to four pages for its second edition of this containment period, the weekly said on Twitter on Tuesday.
The palmiped usually very attached to paper also offered to subscribers who receive the newspaper late to get it on its website, from Wednesday.
"Our readers who have not found their copy at their usual supplier will be able to read, on this same site, for one euro, this four-page issue. Because we had to resolve to reduce our pagination victim of the virus", a pointed out the satirical newspaper.
The Wednesday 18 March edition had already been prepared "partly thanks to telework", like the vast majority of the media in confined countries.
The Duck chained there recalled an episode from its centenary history: in October 1918, censored for having wanted to evoke the Spanish flu which then struck France, he had to invent a tale unfolding in an imaginary country, struck by a mysterious epidemic.
