He also took on the gag series 'Red Rétro' with writer Vicq. Godi continued his collaboration with Vicq in the magazine Spirou, where they created the series 'Cap'tain Anblus McManus' and 'Le Triangle des Bermudes' in the early 1980s. Godi was also present at Casterman with the series 'Diogène Terrier', published from 1981 to 1983. Afterwards, Godi focused mainly on advertising cartoons.
