[Falstaff]

According to the grammar textbook I use (which is in fairly common use in the U.S. and based on MLA rules) it says:

"When the last two items in a series are joined by and, you may omit the comma before the and if the comma isn't needed to make the meaning clear.

CLEAR WITHOUT COMMA: The entertainers sang, danced and juggled.

UNCLEAR WITOUT COMMA: John, Sue and Mary went fishing.
[Did John go fishing, or is he being addressed]

CLEAR WITH COMMA: John, Sue, and Mary went fishing.

from Holt, Rinehart and Winston's "Elements of Grammar"


Notice the publisher doesn't use the oxford comma in their own name.
