Book Description

Many Readers would not admit it but the first thing they do with a magazine like The Oldie is to flick through it to look at the cartoons. If that is true, as I think it is, then the cartoons assume enormous importance. (It is also true, in the case of the Oldie, that the cartoons give rise to more angry letter than any other feature of the magazine.)

Yet cartoonists any seldom get any credit for this – not that I imagine they harbor any resentment on that account. They are for the most part modest, retiring and even reclusive characters, In many cases, although I have been familiar with their work for many years, I have never clapped eyes on them or even spoken to them on the phone.
