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. For mugs, t-shirts, and other products visit my gift shop at www.zazzle.com/jcrowtherart* (be sure to include the *).

Trial and Error

UCLA is in trouble because of research into nicotine addiction that, it turns out, is being funded by a major tobacco company, thereby, critics claim, compromising the objectivity of the results. But that's only the beginning of their troubles. Part of the experiments involve giving high amounts of nicotine to monkeys and then killing them in order to dissect their brains. On top of that, another aspect of the research is selecting teenagers who are heavy smokers and subjecting them to brain scans. I understand that animal rights activists would like for the two groups to be switched.

If we were to dissect the brain of the average teenager what would we find inside? My guess is an I-Pod.

My guess would be a cell phone and junk food as well as the I-Pod.
