In 1935, Hall created 'Kjukken i Fritiden', a series that ran until the mid-1940s. Hall's longest running serial was 'Hans og Grete'. It began publication in Nationaltidende in 1947, and was syndicated to other papers by P.I.B. Hall drew this strip for 36 years. Inspired by the local train in Copenhagen he additionally made a comic about a train conductor, 'Nullerten' (1949-1963), published in Socialdemokraten. After Hall's death in 1983 'Hans og Grete' was continued by Frank Madsen
