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 For the Old

Kudoes to Michael Phelps, but enough already. Oh, I don't think he should stop in his quest for more gold medals, but the coverage has got really predictable. Footage of Michael getting up in the morning, shovelling breakfast into his mouth, arriving at the stadium listening to his I-pod. Michael winning his race. His mom Debbie cheering. Race replayed. Replayed again. Michael being interviewed. "What does it feel like to win yet another gold medal?" Michael grins. "Awesome." Michael's win replayed. Replayed again. And again. And again. Michael on the podium getting his medal and standing for playing of the National Anthem. Debbie wiping away tears. Race replayed. Same thing all over again tomorrow. Maybe they could slip in a rerun of American Idol, just to break the monotony.

He's amazing isn't he? What a powerhouse! But yes... focussing in on any one performer would wear a little thin... no matter how great. We are lucky here in Aus to have brilliant coverage through the 7 network. It's pretty much around the clock but focussed entirely upon the big picture with (relatively!?) unbiased reporting of the events and the atheletes from all countries. Kind of keeps it all in perspective.
