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 *).

Block That Euphemism

As I juggle my glasses this morning, switching from the pair I use to read the newspaper to the one with a slightly longer focal length that I use for the computer, I think back to Benjamin Franklin's bifocals. It was on this date in 1785 that he first described them in a letter to a friend. Good idea certainly, but impractical. With my system I can only lose half my glasses at a time.
