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.

Fill 'Er Up

Hey, the price of gas being what it is, nothing would surprise me. I used to race cars, but in a world where the drivers are supposed to know as much as the mechanics, I was the kind who'd drive into the pits and tell the crew "there's a funny little rattling noise somewhere back there in the rear." My favorite racing story is about Janet Guthrie, the first woman ever to drive in the Indy 500. A TV interviewer once asked her if competing with men at this level was comparable to, say, trying to play football in the NFL, and she replied, "I'm driving the car around the track, not carrying it."

If I had all the money I wasted on fast cars, fuel, and repairs I'd have a big wad of money in the bank.

After my last LA freeway jam I drove to Chicago, left my car at a used car lot, and flew on to New York City. Here I walk, bike, and ride the speedy Subway with no regrets!
