'Robert en Bertrand'.
Ron van Riet studied arts in Antwerp and began his career doing freelance assignments for Fotogravure Steurs. He was an artist of the Vandersteen studios since 1970. He cooperated on the 'Bessy' production for the German market, and became head of the 'Bessy' studio in 1980. Van Riet was the artist of the series 'Robert en Bertrand' from 1985 until the end (script by Marck Meul). In 1987 Van Riet and Meul made the advertising comic, 'Een Bank Vooruit' (printed by Het Volk Gent), to promote saving at the CERA Bank (nowadays KBC Bank).

When 'Robert en Bertrand' was cancelled, Van Riet went to work as a freelance artist for Woepie, the children's supplement of Het Laatste Nieuws. For Suske en Wiske Weekblad, he developed the series 'Zwik en Zwak' with Pug (Peter van Gucht). This was a gag comic about two clowns, the short one being Zwik, the tall one Zwak. Van Riet additionally made illustrations for children's and educational books.
