his work is noted for its historical detail and gentle irreverent humour. one if his most reprinted works is his illustrations for fattipuffs and thinnifers: “it gave me the opportunity to test my invention and humour, the two ingredients i most wanted to bring to my drawings”. speaking of his creative process in an interview in 2001, wegner told tom morgan-jones: "my one regret is that my roughs are very often better than the finished artwork. they’re more spontaneous, they have a greater creative sparkle and you don’t have to worry too much about sizes and all the constraints you normally have to work with."
