Quality Time? by Mike Peyton
Published to celebrate the life of Mike Peyton, 'the world's greatest yachting cartoonist', with personal tributes from successful and well-known sailors.
“A welcome re-run of the greatest cartoons from yachting’s greatest cartoonist” (Classic Boat) “Looking through the book, which depicts so many years of sailing, it’s easy to understand why Mike’s work is loved by so many. There’s a gentle, warm humour to his work, which will be much missed in the sailing world.” (Sailing Today) “Whatever branch of yachting is our choice, Mike caught us to a tee. His ability to squeeze the juice out of a situation we all have shared, while populating it with characters we know so well, was unique.” (Tom Cunliffe, Yachting World) “As well as 79 classic cartoons, I particularly enjoyed the 32 pages written by Mike filled with wonderfully-observed vignettes from his 50 years afloat, like written versions of his cartoons. Worthy of a place next to anyone’s bunk.” (Yachting Monthly)
Mike began sketching as a boy and, after the war, trained at Manchester Art School. He also discovered boating, spending his wedding night camping besides the Thames in London, having got there by canoe! He worked as a freelance cartoonist and had over 18 books of yachting cartoons published and in 2016 was dubbed ‘the Picasso of sailing’ by the Yachting Journalist Association. He passed away in late January 2017, a few days after his 96th birthday.
