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.

Sing Out, Louise

Apocryphal, perhap, but the story goes that Elihu Root, the long ago emminence in the Republican party once had a microphone pushed in front of him. "Remove it," he barked, "I can talk to a Democrat but not to that dead thing." Which is why perhaps we now refer to microphones as being "live."

Thanks to my friend Bill Smith, an acting teacher in Denver, for the anecdote that gave rise to this cartoon. I don't normally do suggestions, but this was far too good to pass up.

Your friend, Bill Smith had a terrific idea, John C. Funny, great cartoon.

When the actor figures out how to project taller, thinner, with more hair part, would like to talk to him about the thinner part (lol)
