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.

It Must Be True, I Saw It On TV

One can only wonder with the dismay that comes when you already know the answer is yes whether the excesses of the 24-7 media news cycle will only get worse in the future. As the longest presidential campaign ever grinds on, the latest story to have the crap beaten out of it is the so-called "veepstakes," or who's going to be picked for the job that nobody wants so badly that every governor in America is slathering to get it. The vice-president's job is like clap to a high school kid, it's the last thing you want except that it's a badge of honor. Unless you're Dick Cheney, in which case you want to spread it.

My apologies to one and all who may be looking for a cartoon today, but there's a snafu at the server end which hopefully will be cleared up quickly. I have today's cartoon (Friday, 8/1) drafted and ready to go with a click of the mouse, as soon as blogger.com recognizes that I'm not using my blog to send spam.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi John. There was a similar problem with Wordpress recently. My blog was unceremoniously tipped out of Google because someone hacked in and embedded spam into the source code of a number of archive pages. There was no way the blog owner could have known because it was all hidden and designed only to be picked up by search engines. It affected "thousands" of blogs and took quite some time to clear up. Meantime my google ranking disappeared off the face of the earth.

It disappoints me that there are people out there who don't mind bringing others down for their own greedy purposes.

Hope you're up and running soon.

BTW did you feel the earth move the other day? Been meaning to ask.
