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.

Empirical Evidence

You can't fool me with all this talk about how the earth is round. I've seen for myself that it's flat. I once journeyed from Alaska to South Africa by way of Los Angeles and London, a point darn close to exactly the opposite side of the earth if, indeed, the round earth people have it right. Well, I'm here to tell you I kept watching out of the window most of the way, with my eye on the horizon, you know, the edge of the earth where if you get too close you drop right off, and I'm here to tell you, flat flat flat! As if that's not proof enough, when I got to Johannesburg a day later, I wasn't standing on my head. Okay, some people will say, what about those pictures of earth they take from the moon? Sorry, folks, I have eyes. It's a great big flat disc.

God, am I grateful that someone at last has had the courage to speak out against the currently accepted myth that the earth is round! We all know in out hearts that it’s flat, but why are there so few people out there who have the guts to say so? I was discussing this very subject the other day with the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus and they both agreed with me. God bless you, John. The last honest man.

I happen to find it disturbing that when it rains sideways the weathermen attribute the phenomenon to strong winds. Is it not obvious that our flat earth has been struck by a wayward meteor and knocked off kilter?! I suspect the government is behind these specious weather casting lies...

It has long been my firm belief that the world is neither round nor flat but a big clear bubble with what we see as land and horizon inside the bubble. Otherwise, we would fall out into space. I am certain that gravity was a made up story by the world governments in the 1930s in order to confuse and pacify the rounders and the flatters. I was told this in no uncertain terms by the Easter Bunny, Pink Elephants and a bottle of Gin. I think they rank higher on the authority ladder than TF or SC. Just my humble opinion.

Since you have researched this so throughly for yourself, I just have to believe you. I know you would never lead us astray.

Ohmigosh, Katherine, I don't think I can handle the responsibility of having to be right.

OMG... I go away for a couple of days and you would have me with my head in the clouds and my feet in the mud... errr... hang on... maybe that should be the other way round? LOL

Don't you guys know anything?

Christopher Columbus never made it home... after circling the world for centuries lost... he was plucked dazed from the ocean by russian submariners in what would now seem to be a KGB plot to halt the space race which surely would have altered not only the outcome of the cold war but the trajectory of mankind and his rockets had either countries suspected for a minute that the earth they were launching from was anything but flat. Lesson... there is no such thing as a level playing field... proving once and for all that the world is indeed ROUND.
