De Jager's career started in the early 1980s withWim Stevenhagen under the pseudonymPrutspruts ("fiddle-fiddle"), later changed toPrutswerk ("lousy job"). In the early stages he worked withFay Lovsky. The first comic they released, entitledDe Ironische Man ("The Ironic Man") was not very successful, but the duo went on producing comics such asBert J. Prulleman andPruts Pruts, Privat Kreye for the alternative magazineDe Vrije Balloen. During this time, the Familie Doorzon also appeared for the first time.
In 1984 Lovsky and de Jager broke up, and de Jager continued the familie Doorzon series, a satire of Dutch society and family life which eventually became one of the most popular cartoons in the Netherlands.[citation needed]
