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.

Memoremus

A part of me keeps saying to myself, "John, hold your tongue, yesterday was a solemn day of rememberance, not an occasion for politics, we've had more than enough of that subject lately." But another part of me, perhaps the larger part, is saddened and sickened by the president, at Arlington, from whose mouth platitudes of care for the nation's fallen soldiers dropped with the hollow thud of empty mortar rounds. This isn't politics talking, it's humanity. We're talking about a president who ducked his service to the country, and whose minions have deftly hidden his records. This is the president who arrogantly lied and obfuscated our way into a war that continues to kill daily while he and his surrogates go on lying to us. And oh yes, this is the president who announced he was giving up golf as his own personal way to make a sacrifice for our brave young service men and women. Crescat scientia vita excolatur.

My heart bleeds for all the young men who have died in this senseless war, however, I do not trust the media as I have seen what they have done to Hillary and I am appalled. Can only say once again that I am glad that I am an independent.

These two are a close favorite behind Jeremy. Love the feeling of this cartoon, John C.
