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 *).

Fair Is Foul

While I was officiating a kids lacrosse game recently, one of the coaches was giving me a hard time, so I finally threw him off the field. After the game he accosted me in front of his team and continued to harangue me (and by the way, no other coaches, nor the parents, questioned any calls). I finally said to him, "I'm not listening to this nonsense any more," and walked away. "Don't walk away while I'm talking to you," he screamed, "it's rude. What kind of example do you want to set for these kids?" Go figure.

Think just the opposite, you set a great example when you walked away instead of punching him in the nose. (grin)

I agree with Lee. Good for you John.

It seems to be something in the air lately. Everyone seems so agro. If the world is our mirror I must be one heck of an angry person. Fortunately I don't necessarily buy into that stuff about the mirror! LOL

I was raised to "never complain-never explain." This has gone out of fashion in recent years.roger
