Hello,
Thanks for this post! I greatly enjoy the work of Pont and was looking for info on the web…
I have a question, in an old Punch (1940) I came across a 2 page comic strip of Pont called ‘Aunt Rosa and the Bicycle’. Does anyone know if Pont did more comic strips (and maybe where I can find them)?
