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.

Single Entendre

I once had a casting director tell me with a straight face and no hint of irony that when actors came in for an interview she deliberately made them as uncomfortable as possible. I told her that seemed strange to me. In my experience casting in theatre and film you get the best from an actor when he or she is at ease. "No," she answered, the really good actors are the ones who can deal with the pressure." And I always thought the really good actors were the ones who knew how to act.

This cartoon has me puzzled. First time I have not understood one of the cartoons. Sorry, John C. but this one's meaning eludes me.

Great commentary and I did understand it so there is hope for me after all. -----grin-----

PS Even though I did not understand meaning of cartoon, I still marvel at how well the composition falls into place and how you make a difficult thing seem so easy. Speaking as one struggling with composition at the moment.
