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 *).

Fun In the Sun

In the words of the Reverend Henry Beecher Stowe, "There can be no high civlization where there is not ample leisure." (Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit, 1887) Still, it's worth also noting that Benjamin Franklin wrote in Poor Richard's Almanac, "A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two different things."

My apologies for yesterday's hiccup. The good folks at google.com shut us down temporarily because its "spam robot" automatically flagged us as possibly using this blog for spamming. A review gave us a clean bill of health. I'm all for protecting us from spammers, but the amount of junk in my AOL mailbox each day suggests the battle is being lost on some fronts. My Gmail account, however, gets virtually none, so my hat's off to the folks over there.

Hi John
Hope the real live people at Google enjoyed your cartoons, after their BOT checked you out, shut you down, and threatened to turn your fans to tears!
Cheers, Rico

Those unseen work in mysterious ways. Certainly believe that all work and no play makes for a dull person but some of us....................partial to eating, a habit hard to break. Funny cartoon today, love the perplexed expressions.
