Bob Bond is an experienced book illustrator and cartoonist, long since retired. He drew sports cartoons for many years for various comics, magazines and periodicals. Born in Lancashire at the start of the war, Bob moved south 40 years ago. He still follows Preston North End from afar, in the vain hope that one day he will see them play their first match in the Premier League.
