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.

The Distaff Side

Talk about women driving men to drink, most men don't need to be driven, they just stagger there themselves. It was Aristophanes who wrote in Lysistratra way back in 411 B.C. about women that one "....can't live with them, or without them." Michel Eyquem de Montaigne wrote in 1588 that "women are not entirely wrong when they reject the rules of life proscribed for the world, for these were established by men only, without their consent." And it was some anonymous wag who much more recently said "women's work is never done.... by a man."

Great composition in this cartoon, John C, love the way it flows together. Refuse to remark on the subject of women on the grounds that it might incriminate me. Taking the 5th.

PS suddenly realized that my former remarks might be misleading. Meant to say that it is a well known fact throughout the world that women are superior in all ways to men. (grin)
