"Fondness for laughing at our own anecdotes" is a satirical piece published in the British magazine Punch on February 10, 1937, authored by Graham Laidler Pont. Punch, often referred to as The London Charivari, was a British weekly magazine of humor and satire established in 1841. The magazine became renowned for its witty commentary on contemporary society, politics, and culture, often illustrated with cartoons and caricatures.

Graham Laidler Pont, known professionally as Pont, was a prominent cartoonist and illustrator for Punch during the 1930s. Born in 1908, Pont's work is characterized by its keen observation of British social norms and idiosyncrasies, often highlighting the quirks and eccentricities of the British middle class. His cartoons and writings frequently explored themes of everyday life with a humorous and sometimes critical lens.

"Fondness for laughing at our own anecdotes" exemplifies Pont's signature style, blending humor with a subtle critique of social behavior. The piece delves into the common human tendency to find amusement in one's own stories and experiences, often at the expense of others' interest or engagement. Through his sharp wit and illustrative prowess, Pont captures the essence of this social phenomenon, reflecting on the self-indulgent nature of personal anecdotes and the universal desire for validation and attention.

The publication of this piece in Punch during the interwar period is significant, as it reflects the magazine's role in providing comic relief and social commentary during a time of economic and political uncertainty. Pont's work, including "Fondness for laughing at our own anecdotes," remains a testament to the enduring appeal of humor as a means of understanding and critiquing human behavior.
