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.

Happy You Know What Day

Here at The Journey, where every day is a Fool's day, we can only sit back and wonder at a world that sets aside only one occasion a year to celebrate foolishness. Theories abound as to the origins of this non-holiday, but I throw my lot with the idea that it began with Noah, who sent the raven out too soon to check if the flood had abated. The raven came back and told Noah spring would last six more weeks, thereby incurring the famous feud between ravens and groundhogs.
