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.

In Our Nation's Service

It's getting more and more difficult to deal in humor when politics provides us with news this funny. Back in June Sen. Larry Craig (R, Idaho) was arrested in an airport men's room for "lewd conduct." It seems he was playing footsie with an undercover detective in an adjoining toilet stall. Keep in mind, this is a guy with a draconian record when it comes to voting against gay rights and protection for homosexuals. In court he pled guilty and was given a $500 fine and suspended jail time, and now that the cat's been let out of the bag he's claiming the whole thing was a misunderstanding and he was really innocent. So if this worm-slime creep is innocent, why the heck did he admit to being guilty? I mean, now he's got a sexual misconduct conviction on his record. His reason? He just wanted to put it behind him. No pun intended. I take that back. Pun definitely intended.

John C, John C, terrible pun (grin). what is it with this man Senator Craig. If he is gay, so what, last time I looked it is not against the law unless you are trying to involve a minor. Oh, what tangled webs we weave when first we practice........... get over it, Senator Craig. The more important question is: what have you done for your voters and are they better off with your representation or worse and did you ever tying to involve a minor. Jeesh!

John C, is this a line drawing or am I imagining things? Great cartoon.

since I was half asleep last night when I wrote my question meant to ask if it was a continuous line drawing.

By the way, hear that Senator Craig is now saying he is not gay. If not, why did he say he was when first questioned? This man should not be in office. He is a worse yo-yo than Kerry. Uh, oh, now will have all loyal democrats attacking me. Sorry folks, did not mean to say...................thought it was only a misdemeanor and no one would know I said it...............

"Worse" than Kerry, Lee? Can you give me three examples of Kerry's so-called "flip-flopping?" You fell for the Rove attack-line (talk about "continuous" lines) that was cheerfully propogated by the so-called liberal media and as a result we got what? Ta-da, four more years of the disastrous GWB, the fella who brought us "mission accomplished" and "you're doing a heckuva job, Brownie."

Sorry, John C. but can not agree with you about Kerry being honorable. I don't believe he is what you think he is or maybe you know him from a different time, no, I was not influenced by the Swift boat ad although I have to admit that I thought it was funny, I have my own private reasons for how I think, maybe he changed as he matured. I don't have much respect for any politician if you want to know the truth, I think absolute power corrupts absolutely. This nutty Senator who can not decide if he is gay or not gay is pathetic and I feel sorry for his family.
