He has made short humorous comics for the small-press magazines Incognito, Zone 5300 and Beeldstorm. He made a weekly comic strip called 'Madelfried' for SURF-INN, the Concentra website. In France, this comic was printed in L'Écho des Savanes.

A collection of his work called 'Unne en andere vingerkrampen' was published in 1999. This was followed by other book publications, including 'Verhaaltjes voor het Slapengaan' (2 issues), 'Uitzonderlijk Zwaar Vervoer' and 'De Vlucht van de Kloothommel'. Besides in a series of albums, Kim's comic 'Esther Verkest' is also published in P-Magazine and MYX. In addition he makes a weekly comic strip for the children's page of NRC.
