The Collected Cartoons of Mary Potter

The cartoons below are by Daily Info's long-time resident cartoonist and illustrator Mary Potter. Her book Potter Pourri: 36 sketches of Oxford Life is still available from Daily Information for £5 (+ postage) (contact us for copies). Many 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 and updates from a whole series of DI staff and editors since then!

Mary Potter is not the only person to create art inspired by the city. For more cartoonists see Assorted Cartoonists, or for other styles of art, Oxford Scenes.
