After having worked on 'Panda', he succeeded Dick Matena as the artist of the 'Tom Poes' daily strip in 1963. He added a slapstick element to the strips, and intensified the absurdism in the artwork. He drew 'Tom Poes' for five episodes, until 1965. He then went to work on the 'Kappie' strip. In 1968, he returned to 'Tom Poes', when he did a balloon story for Donald Duck. He lives and works in the village of Rathdrum, where he is also the chairman of the local Guinness International Cartoon Festival.
