Cartoons, cartoons, cartoons.... John Crowther's Cartoon Odyssey

I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies. All cartoons are available as prints or originals, framed or unframed, through my website or e-mail.

Dry Martini, Straight Up, With a Twist

One of the amazing things about humor is how surreal it can be, from the most elegant epigram to the lowliest pun, anything and everything is possible. The odd juxtapositions are limitless, and yet only the grinchiest among us would question the set-up. Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, and Newt Gingrich in a leaky rowboat after a shipwreck... Richard Nixon, the Pope, Henry Kissinger, and a hippy in an airplane about to crash... an American indian with a dog, horse, and sheep meet a ventriloquist on a country road... an oyster and a tunafish at the pearly gates... it goes on and on. I truly believe mankind could survive if somehow all the "great literature" was wiped out, but without humor we'd be goners.

Are these religious leaders in collusion to fix rates for a decent afterlife? Ten percent out of everyone's pocket and to keep the donors coming, "No birth control!"

Actually I think in the hypothetical joke the Rabbi should have a talking dog, and the Pope lisps. You take it from there.
