In Buenos Aires, he cooperated on PBT magazine, for which he created serials like 'Smith y Churrasco', 'Aniceto Cascarrabias' and 'Don Salamito y Doña Gaviota' in 1913. He subsequently became head of the art department of the daily Crítica. From the 1930s, he did graphic recreations of criminal cases, celebrated women's lives and literary adaptations of books like 'Sangre Romañola'.
