 Montague Thomas Archibald Wedd (1921 – 2012)

The Bunker Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour are currently hosting an exhibition of the works of prolific Australian comic artist Monty Wedd until March. Cartoon Gallery director/curator Dr Leigh Summers said exhibiting the work of Monty Wedd is particularly poignant,

 "Award-winning cartoonist and historian Monty Wedd passed away last year and we are taking this opportunity to celebrate his life and work with 'Man of Legends', a showing of his works from the Coffs Cartoon Collection."
