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.

To Tell the Truth

Oscar Wilde wrote in The Soul of Man Under Socialism, "There's only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else. That is the misery of being poor." It's not a crime to be poor. The only crime is that poverty still exists in this society , thirty-nine years to the day since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Notice that of all the lofty rhetoric coming from our presidential campaigns, there's not one word about eliminating homelessness. Of course not, it doesn't win votes.

Are they even aware there are such people? Maybe McCain knows something about humiliation and deprivation since he was a prisoner of war and tortured but doubt if either one has remembered about the homeless at this point in their lives. Totally turned off Obama since his ego has become so great. What a sad day for us when Hillary was pushed out of the way. I may vote for Minnie Mouse.

On a much more cheerful note, love this cartoon with two of my favorite guys.
