"Oliver Preston's cartoons bring a smile to my face no matter how often I look at them. The themes are as achingly funny as the drawings are exquisite." Jilly Cooper "Oliver Preston is a wise man. He gave up bond-dealing to draw cartoons. Anyone can be a bond-dealer but to be a cartoonist you need not only a gift for drawing but wit, a wry knowledge of human nature, and a capacity to pierce prejudices, passions, persiflage, pretension and pomposity. Oliver Preston makes the world a happier place." Kenneth Baker
