'Pont' (Graham Laidler) was born in 1908. His pseudonym derived from a nickname, Pontifex Maximus, acquired during a visit to Rome. Following his family s wishes, he trained as an architect, but by his mid-twenties had become one of Puncs most prolific and successful cartoonists. He published several collections, the most popular of which being The British Character, which lampoons the national foibles of the British. Pont suffered from TB, and died in 1940 of at the age of 32, leaving behind some four hundred cartoons.
'Pont is undeniably a genius... toweringly brilliant' Alan Coren 'Pont creations still manage to convey better than almost any other images the English character in all its strange and wonderful glory' Richard Ingrams 'One of the best chroniclers of mid-20th century British life. A master of minor as well as major detail' Posy Simmonds 'Like the best moderns he infuses character into every curve of a rump or tilt of an eyebrow, adding tiny jokes in every corner' Libby Purves
