Finally in "Aux sources du Z" as Spirou uses the time shifter to get back to the events of "La corne de rhinocéros", he encounters Seccotine wandering around their yard waiting to snap pictures of the brand new Turbot he and Fantasio had just received. Seccotine notes how different Spirou acts from the way she's gotten to know him, he's far more like a man, a fact that she deems not to be all that unpleasant. To silence her Spirou kisses her on the mouth which leaves her frozen in surprise. As he makes his way inside the house he admits to himself that he has wanted to kiss Seccotine for a long time and thanks Zorglub for creating the opportunity to do so. Appearances 6.

As such, it is the equivalent of the expression " un(e) pot de colle" (French definition "pot de colle") In Dutch Seccotine is called "Ijzerlijm" which means "iron glue" again noting at how sticky she is. In Finnish, (where the series is named Piko ja Fantasio) Seccotine is known as Kitariina (a wordplay based on Katariina "Catherine" and kita "jaws", hinting at Seccotine's loquacity). In the early seventies, an earlier translation published by Semic Press under the name Tipsu ja Tapsu, had her name varyingly as Sirpa Sirpakka and Sini Sirpakka.
