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.

Speak the Speech, I Pray You

We interrupt our regularly scheduled commentary with this bulletin just in: In a news conference today Condoleeza Rice has called Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki "a slimy little man with a bad comb-over who should never have left the tiny village he grew up in where they burn cow dung for fuel." Upon hearing this Maliki shot back that everyone knows Rice only got her job because she's been having an affair with George W. Bush. At first Bush refused to comment, but an insider who asked to remain anonymous tells us that Rice screamed at Bush in a White House lavatory for failing to leap to her defense, calling him a pusillanimous piece of Texas lowlife. Later, Bush fired off a letter to Maliki suggesting his invitation to this year's 4th of July barbecue in Crawford was rescinded. "Let 'im eat chicken wings in the Green Zone," Bush is quoted as having said. Stay tuned to The Fool for further developments.

Hey! What's Condy doing in a man's lavoratory, or, for that matter, what's the Prez doing in a woman's?
Are you trying to tell us something sensational we should know?

The Fool only reports the news, he doesn't make it. However, on checking the original source quote we find it may have said "for failing to leap on her [unintelligible]."

OMG, here I am still in mourning over D, R and B, now I find out that some of these VERY unimportant politicians want the limelight. How inconsiderate can they be? It is not as if they are as important as my three. Although I have had my ear glued to the news all day, not one single word can I find about the IMPORTANT feud. However, not above listening to some gossip provided it is shocking enough even if it is about theeessse people.

Great cartoon, laughing still.
