As early as 1978, as a summer job, Meynen drew the scenery for an episode of De Kiekeboes (Kiekeboe in Carré ). Together with Pjotr, he created the adventures of Tommy Gun & Marion Lee starting in 1980. For the magazine Lava, he made drawings from 1987 onwards for scenarios of stories written by Kamagurka.

He is good friends with writer Herman Brusselmans, who also occasionally wrote comic scripts for him, such as "Inspecteur Bob Lost Het Bijna Op" (1988).
