However, on 8 May 1941, a paper shortage caused by the ongoing war led to being reduced to four pages, with the length of the weekly Tintin strip being cut by two-thirds. Several weeks later, on 3 September, the supplement disappeared altogether, with "The Crab with the Golden Claws" being moved into itself in September, where it became a daily strip. As a result, Hergé was forced to alter the pace at which his narrative moved, as he had to hold the reader's attention at the end of every line. As with earlier "Adventures of Tintin", the story was later serialised in France in the Catholic newspaper "Cœurs Vaillants" from 21 June 1942.
