In the late 1960s, he joined the magazine Pep, for which he made 'Blook', a parody on the famous American superhero genre. Bakker worked on the strip with the scriptwriters Lo Hartog van Banda and Dick Matena from 1969 to 1974. Also for Pep, he made 'Dan Teal', a comic scripted by Geo Staad (a pseudonym of Drs. P) as well as the science-fiction comic 'Jap and Schmock'. In 1975 he quit the comic business to become a commercial designer. He often credited with the 1982 'Suske en Wiske' parody 'De Keizerkraker'.
