Meanwhile, the Hydropathes disbanded in 1882. Their place in Cohl's life was replaced by the Incoherents, a group founded by Jules Lévy, who coined the phrase "les arts incohérents" as a contrast to the common expression "les arts décoratifs". The Incoherents were even less politically minded than the Hydropathes. Their slogan was "Gaity is properly French, so let's be French". The focus was absurdism, nightmares, and the drawing style of children. Cohl's Incoherent art joined his caricatures and satiric news reporting at "La Nouvelle Lune", where he had become the major contributor and acting editor. He became editor in chief in November 1883.
