While critical of both Goldwater and President Johnson for some of their statements which he called extreme, he said he was in their debt as a cartoonist for "ridiculous material...
Lyndon was unmistakably Lyndon, right down to the bifurcated chin. Barry was incontrovertibly Barry-box jaw, brow wrinkles, horn rims and all. Few U.S. cartoonists have so deftly distilled the spirit of these two men as Australia's Patrick Bruce Oliphant, 29, a recent arrival who has not yet set eyes on either Johnson or Goldwater and who took over the editorial cartoonist's drawing board at the Denver Post only last month...

" Cartoonist Oliphant is not likely to chafe at this gentle restriction. The Post endorsed Kennedy in 1960 and will back Johnson this year; Oliphant's attitudes are similar. "I tend to lean Democratic now," he said. "But I don't believe a cartoonist should come out one way or another...
