The stories featuring in the comic strips focus on the trivial lives of the title characters, Nonte and Phonte, along with a school-senior, Keltuda, and their boarding school Superintendent.

Fonte is a 15-year-old boy, wearing a blue shirt, and is immediately distinguishable from Nonte due to his shorter hair.

In one comic strip, the reader learns that he has failed the class six times and the governing body of the school wants to get rid of him.

He is shown variously as having curly hair and a stubby nose and being a bit taller and stronger than Nonte and Fonte.

Minor recurring characters include the headmaster who is quite benign, the cooks at the boarding school hostel who speak Bengali with accents that vary from Bihari, Oriya, and Dhakai, and many students like Panga, Nepchada, Lengcha, Boncha.

The stories of Nonte Fonter Nanan Kirtee were adapted in an original television series.

The series however discontinued due to poor production values and low TRPs & children like Tom and Jerry on that time.

Later the stories were adapted in an animated television series named Nonte Fonter Nanan Kirtee by SSOFTOONS.
