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.

Going Nowhere Fast II

Yesterday's cat fight in the pits between lady racecar drivers Danica Patrick and Milka Duno at Lexington, Ohio brought to mind one of my favorite TV interview moments. Janet Guthrie, the first woman driver ever to compete in the Indianapolis 500 was asked what it felt like to be out there on the track with men. "Would it be comparable," the interviewer wanted to know, "to playing football in the NFL?" Ms. Guthrie looked at the man incredulously and answered, "I'm driving the car around the track, not carrying it."

Love this cartoon, reminds me of how Jeremy will be when he is older and driving (grin). commentary up to usual standards and I share Ms. Guthrie's amazement at the question. Some newscasters never learn.
