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.

So You Wanna Be A Director


The myth of being able to post a video to YouTube and have it go viral within hours has become to this generation what being discovered at the Schwab's soda fountain like Lana Turner was in an earlier time. People hear the tales of a film clip getting millions of hits and ka ching, their heads swim with fantasies of fame and fortune. Actually, there's about as much likelihood of success as there is of winning the lottery. There are thousands of new posts hourly cobbled together by wannabe Steven Spielbergs from around the globe. On the other hand, if you e-mail five friends with a link, and they e-mail five more friends, and this goes on, say, 8 more times, over 48 million people will know about it. This works with blogs as well. I'm guessing you can figure out where this is taking me.

How do you come up with all these ideas, John C. This one is so funny. I always wonder what makes people tape themselves in such weird actions. 15 minutes of fame?
