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. For mugs, t-shirts, and other products visit my gift shop at www.zazzle.com/jcrowtherart* (be sure to include the *).

You Thought Atkins Was New?

I've been doing Atkins for a few years, I admit it, but I'm ready to quit. It's not that I'm craving french fries, Danish pastry, pizza, because I'm not. It's just that here I am, rigorously sticking to the "maintenance diet" like stink on an outhouse rat after originally losing 30 pounds, and now the weight is creeping back. And I'm not only consuming fewer damned carbohydrates than originally, but fewer calories as well. I feel as if I've won a Ferrari that I can only drive in traffic jams. Okay, two metaphors in one post is one too many.

Doughnuts, ice cream, burgers and cokes, French fries, candy and pizza make happy folks. Diets impose famine on unhappy blokes.

LOL to both comments. I'll settle for a big plate of fried clams with tartar sauce! Or a lobster roll. There, my New England background is showing.
