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 *).

Out Of It

As I marvel at what today's computer can do, it's worth remembering that on this day, March 10, only 142 years ago, Alexander Graham Bell uttered the immortal words to his assistant in the next room, the first words ever spoken over a telephone, "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you." Except that Bell was a notorious rip-off artist and liar, and most likely never said them at all. What he actually said was probably more along the lines of, "I think I have the wrong number."
