The cartoons below are all from hobby illustrator Mary Potter's book Potter Pourri: 36 sketches of Oxford Life, which is still available from Daily Information for £6.99 (contact us for copies). They originally appeared in The Oxford Calendar, 1975-87. The text is by Jessica and John Rose, with grateful acknowledgements to Richard Bailey and Margaret Ellis.

Submissions must be on the theme of eating, sleeping, drinking, getting about or communications & language in Oxford. The general aim is to amuse in a simple, bold and relevant way, with no more than one line of text, and drawings approximately postcard (A6) size.
