Giorgio Rebuffi cancelled his medical studies in order to create comics. He started out at the publisher Alpe, creating series like 'Bingo Bongo' and 'Lo Sceriffo Fox'. In 1952, he took over 'Cucciolo e Beppe' from Rino Anzi. He restyled the series completely, transforming the main characters from dogs to humans and introducing many new characters. That same year, he created the character Tiramolla together with Roberto Renzi. In 1968, Rebuffi founded the Bierreci studios with Carlo Chendi and Luciano Bottaro.

Starting in 1969, he made numerous comics with writer Chendi, like 'Tore Scoccia', 'Vita con il Gatto', 'Tom Porcello' and 'Esopo Minore'. He expanded his activities with 'Trottolino' and 'Lucky Loris' for Trottolino, as well as 'Fungolino' and 'Tita e Toto' in La Vispa Teresa. In the 1970s, Rebuffi turned to creating Disney comics for magazine Topolino (Italian for Mickey Mouse). He also drew episodes of 'Pif le Chien' for the French magazine Pif Parade a while.
