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.

Domestic Blish

I see that Apocalypto got off to a good start as the number one box office grosser last weekend, which proves something, but I don't know what. Maybe that a drunken antisemitic rant isn't enough to dim the public's voracious appetite for blood, guts, and mayhem. Or maybe people just figure that boorish behavior and bad taste prove that celebrities are like the rest of the population after all. One thing is certain, it's the weekend numbers that determine the fate of a career, not virulent insults. Michael Richards ought to have a movie coming out, perhaps a glorious epic celebrating the life and heroic deeds of Attila the Hun.

Love this one. Still giggling 20 minutes later. Perfect timing for M. G.'s movie. Christmas, the time of peace on earth and good will toward all men. Cough, cough.

There are all kinds of pornography available to the public. Sexual pornography is banned in most places, certainly in your family's movie house, but the Pornography of Violence can be bought for the price of a movie ticket anywhere in these United States.
