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.

I don't recognize the two observers on the right. Judging from the absence of fezzes and the rest of their wardrobe they look like two old
Princeton alumni on holiday. What travel agent booked this trip?
It was a package arranged through the Princeton alumni magazine: Executions of the Middle and Far East Tour, 14 days, 26 scheduled executions with occasional last minute justice possible. Hangings, beheadings, stonings, burial alive, and death by shooting are among the treats to be experienced and savored. Travel, hotel accomodations, and all meals included for those inclined to eat.
Theo Van Gogh's great great grandson was apparently murdered by a muslim who was (amongst other things) offended by Van Gogh's paintings. And then there was the uproar over Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten publishing of 12 cartoons depicting the prophet. It would seem that Islam lacks a sense of humour. I wonder how they feel about death by toilet seat? *wink* LOL
Very funny cartoon John... :-)
Ooooh John, be careful! I'd hate for you to be on a hit list! (Although this IS one of my favorites!)
Let me reassure Mary that I and my forty thieves took no offense at John’s latest cartoon. We found his depiction of our world hilarious, especially all those fezzes which we stopped wearing at the end of the Ottoman empire, but no matter. What we did find objectionable was the obvious depiction of the two Princeton graduates. My first son, Ali McGraw –-he’s half Irish-- went there back in the fifties to study international finance and now runs a merchant bank in the Sahara so I no longer have to keep my gold in a cave. He in no way dresses like that. He is into Armani. Other than that small error, a wonderful drawing by a master satirist. Allah and Hirschfield be praised!
Ha ha ha ha ha!!! At least Ali Baba has a sense of humor, (and a keen wit at that!)
