He returned to comics upon his return in Belgium, at first as an assistant to Daniel Kox on the series 'L'Agent 212' in Spirou. He succeeded Stéphane Colman as the artist of 'Billy the Cat' in 2002, and continued the series with Stephen Desberg and later Jean-Louis Janssens until 2007. He subsequently began an association with Éditions Bamboo, where he made the humor series about veterinarians 'Les Vétos' with François Gilson between 2009 and 2011. He also made the drawings for 'Les Fonuds du Vin de Bordeaux' in 2013.
