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.

Big Brother Is Watching You

Security cameras are becoming ubiquitous. I think it's a positive thing. My position has nothing to do with either the argument that it will cut down on crime or the concern that it will erode civil rights. I just think that once people know they may be captured on tape they'll stop picking their noses in public as much. I worked for Candid Camera years ago, and we had to get signed releases from anyone we filmed who might be identifiable. I was always astonished by how rarely someone refused, no matter how dumb they appeared. Anything, just so they could tell Aunt Nellie they were going to be on television.

I remember watching "People are Funny" as a little girl. I loved that show.
