Always a deadline worker, Arno lashes himself through grueling 24-and 36-hour stints. Credited with inventing the one-line caption, Arno says: "I suppose it appealed to me particularly because my English grandfather . . . had taught me that brevity was the soul of wit-a surprising maxim to come from a lifelong reader of Punch...
