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 *).

Dress Code

On the subject of fashion Henry David Thoreau had it right when he wrote in Walden, "On the whole, I think that it cannot be maintained that dressing has in this country or any other risen to the dignity of an art." Thoreau went on to say, "Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new." It's astonishing the level of discomfort people have been willing to endure through the centuries for the questionable obsession with being in style.
