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 *).

Number Please

When I see my lacrosse players at breaks during practice sending and receiving messages on their iPhones I inevitably think back to my childhood, when the only telephone in the house was in the front hall. There was no dial. To make a call you picked it up and waited for the operator to come on. Our number was Gladstone 3672, before the "Gladstone" was replaced by "White Plains 8." At our summer house we had a party line.
