The Twins and The Bairn

According to Thelwell's obituary in the Telegraph newspaper: “He created some of the most recognisable images in equine art with his cartoons of freckled girls being bounced along on their recalcitrant spherical ponies

first appeared in 1961 and is still being printed

He also produced thousands of drawings of dogs and cats
