A few months after the end of the first series '''Robinson''' merged with '''[[Hop-là!]]''' into a new magazine, entitled '''Robinson et Hop-là ! réunis''' ''(translation : "Robinson and Hop-Là !

At the time, many pre-war magazines found a “second life” in being still published in this southern zone. Finally, the series ended with issue 395 on July 9, 1944.
