Hansen contributed a number of politically satirical cartoons to the Danish Ekstra Bladet and the Norwegian Exlex ans Arbeiderbladet between 1909 and 1924. He worked for the German Simplicissimus (1920–1932) and later draw cartoons for Danish newspapers including Socialdemokraten and Information. He also made artistic drawings of the city and imaginative illustrations for books such as Grimms Eventyr (Grimms' Fairy Tales).[2]
