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 *).

Drug Testing

Dr. William Osler, an early 20th century physician, said that a young doctor begins his professional career with 20 drugs for each disease, and ends his career with 1 drug for 20 diseases. This is somewhat in line with my contention that a specialist is not a doctor who knows more than anyone else, he's one who's forgotten more than anyone else. There are neurosurgeons who don't remember how to take a patient's temperature.
