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 Nanny Nanny Nah Nah State

I was all for bans on smoking, since I've been a lifelong non-smoker who always resented smoke-filled rooms. And being someone who dislikes the sight of brains splattered on a highway, I'm in favor of motorcycles helmet laws. But when it gets to things like food, I say the government should butt out. I don't need little placards informing me that a double whammy cheeseburger and fries at Burger Buddy has enough calories to last me a week, or that a gooey dessert is loaded with stuff that will rot my innards. I'm with Marie Antoinette. "Let 'em eat cake." Pass me the arugala.

Legislation (and labelling) is only necessary when people fail to self regulate. We've lost the ability to think for ourselves... make rational decisions... and take personal responsibility. I agree... it's a sad day.

Cool cartoon tho!

Obviously, Jeremy has been watching the news again. (smile)

Personally, I think the government should stay out of my kitchen, bedroom, living room, bath room, etc. etc.
