"[These illustrations] are simple, stark and highly political: condemnations of political chicanery and double-dealing, corporate greed and global inequality. . . . It was worth waiting a lifetime."—Stephen Moss, The Guardian (on the French edition)

"The two people who have probably had the greatest influence on my life are Lewis Carroll and Ronald Searle."—John Lennon

"Mr. Searle is a genius."—Groucho Marx

"A giant of the graphic netherworld. . . . Searle created a new approach to caricature by combining the highly conventionalized, two-dimensional drawing that came out of French modernism with a peculiarly British attention to details of costume, furniture, architecture, ornament, facial expression, gesture and the bric-a-brac of social life."—Tom Wolfe, New York Times Book Review
