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.

Non-Profit? That's No Challenge!

I've never been able to figure out what the old saying "charity begins at home" is all about. Shouldn't it be more like "poverty begins at home?" My entire life has been a not-for-profit organization. Not officially, but it's sure as heck worked out that way. And "disorganization" is more like it. That's why I'd make a great president, I know how to "make do" in a pinch, and Lord knows this country is in a pinch, big time. More than a "pinch," actually, a shove off a cliff. And speaking of that, I'm excited to say that my campaign received an endoresement from Ralph Nader this week. (You remember him, don't you?) Well okay, he didn't mention me by name, but he did say on a radio interview that what we need in this country are more third party and independent candidates. So here I am, ready to answer the call. My exploratory committee is still looking into it, though they did come to me and complain that they're not sure what they're supposed to be exploring. I told them to dig through the garbage cans out in the alley and collect tin cans and bottles. I'll take it from there.

Maybe Utah is a good place to start. Just got this in email.

Subject: Got Beer... A Landlord's Nightmare

A SINGLE GUY LIVED IN THIS TOWNHOUSE FOR 8 YEARS IN OGDEN, UTAH.
THE LANDLORD THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST RENTER BECAUSE HE NEVER CALLED OR COMPLAINED AND WAS NEVER LATE ON A PAYMENT.






THESE PICTURES DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE
"CENTURY 21 REALTY" HAD ALREADY MOVED SOME OF THE CANS OUT, AND THEY HAD CAVED IN THE TUNNELS THAT THE RENTER HAD MADE TO GET TO THE BEDROOM, BATHROOM, AND KITCHEN.

All this, yet you still do not see any dust, scattered clothing, or dirty dishes anywhere.
Other than having a minor drinking problem, he was basically a very clean, organized person. Add to this, the fact that he was concerned about his health, proven by the fact that he drank a "Light" beer.

John you've got my vote... you've got a head AND a heart. A rare combo for most candidates/politicians whose self interest and myopic vision never cease to astound.
