30 Years of "Private Eye" Cartoons

Product Information

Private Eye does not publish a list of its editors, writers, designers, and staff. In 1981 the book The Private Eye Story stated that the owners were Cook, who owned most of the shares, with smaller shareholders including actors Dirk Bogarde and Jane Asher, and several of those involved with the founding of the magazine. Most of those on the list have since died, however, and it is unclear what happened to their shareholdings. Those concerned are contractually only able to sell their shares at the price they originally paid for them.

The magazine is owned by an eclectic group of people and is published by a limited company, Pressdram Ltd, [84] which was bought as an "off the shelf" company by Peter Cook in November 1961. In 2023, Private Eye published a satirical cover on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, reading "This magazine may contain some criticism of the Israeli government and may suggest that killing everyone in Gaza as revenge for Hamas atrocities may not be a good long-term solution to the problems of the region." The magazine was both criticized and praised for its stance, with some accusing the magazine of antisemitism, while others applauded its bravery in criticizing the Israeli government. Critics such as investigative journalist David Collier condemned the magazine, while supporters defended its critique as not antisemitic but a legitimate questioning of the proportionality of Israel's response.
