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 *).

The Naked Truth

This bit of X-rated doodling came at the suggestion of an acting teacher friend in Denver, who wanted to know the answer to the above captions. One of the most pervasive actor cliches is the expressed willingness to perform naked if the material has "redeeming social value" and is relevant to the narrative. Let's face it, naked is naked, and the minute an actor appears unclad on the stage, stared at by a theatreful of folks with their clothes on, narrative goes down the tubes. It's not even a sexual thing, nor is it voyeuristic. It's embarrassment.

Maybe we should blame Adam & Eve? LOL What surprises me, is how in a place that produces some of the raunchiest most explicit cinema on the planet people still get their knickers in a knot when Janet Jackson accidentally flashes a boob (grin)
