The weekly was published until December 1897. In each number wrote a composition in verse or prose that provided Ramón Cilla with a subject for his drawings. He also personally published the “Private Correspondence” section where he criticized with grace and wit, and the “Gossip and Tales” section, where he commented on current affairs. In the “Theatrical Criticism” section, he used the pseudonym “Luis Miranda Borge” and in the poetry section, “Rui-Díaz”.
