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.

Mary Had a Little Lama

I had this whacky dream the other night that the pope was being chosen on a new reality TV show entitled Vatican Idol. Tens of thousands of people had the opportunity to audition for a minute, doing whatever it is they think popes do, and then it was narrowed down to a handful of finalists. Three judges made comments like, "yo dude, listen up, real spiritual, real spiritual, I liked it," "I really felt your soul," and "If I'm going to be honest with you it was like an imitation of a bad cruise ship chaplain." The audience then got to vote. The field was narrowed down to three teen-agers, two boys and a girl with tattoos, when I woke up.

So First of all, I laughed out loud. Hey-do you think he gets that a lot? Of course, now I have the song in my head. Secondly, AI being one of my guilty pleasures (I only watch the show, and not the results show) I can't help but observe that you certainly have the judges pegged, enough that I wonder about your guilty pleasures... Although you were pretty kind to Paula, who I picture prostrating herself and speaking in tongues.

LOL, Gretchen, wish I'd thought of that. Yes, guilty as charged, though I refuse to feel guilty about it. I suspect it beats the holy hannah out of The Bachlorette, which I don't watch.

Hey, dude, this is one funny cartoon. Like Gretchen, I laughed out loud and laughed again at the commentary. Since I do not watch either program, afraid that I do not know the 'skinny' so can not partake in the conversation.
