All the News That Stinks We Print
In today's celebutainment culture it's worth noting that while freedom of the press is a right, freedom from the press has become a luxury.

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.

"Freedom from the Press is a Luxury"! Yes, John, all we have to do is turn off the TV, the internet, boycott the news stand, and face the quandary of how to replace all that time and "supercharged titillation".
Cheers, Rico
Hey? I sent off quite a long witty repartee yesterday concerning this cartoon and it did not publish on the site. That is discrimination to say the least (grin)
