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.

What I want to know is who needs the big O onside? There can be no other reason for it. Sorry.
Hi Jean, I honestly didn't understand what you were getting at. "The big O onside." Don't know what that is.
Your soldiers look like Bill Mauldin's Good cartoon. The helmets are different now. I can't follow Jean's remark either
BTW roger
Hi Roger, yes the Mauldin look was in the nature of an homage. I intended the whole style to be Mauldinish.
BTW, the helmets and uniforms here are contemporary, not WW II vintsge.
John C. this is truly great and a terrific tribute to B. Mauldin, one of my favorite cartoonist. Well drawn and right on the mark!
Oops... yes I guess it does sound rather cryptic doesn't it? John... I thought your cartoon was making reference to (questioning) the recent awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama. I was just musing about the possibility that it was done for political purposes. No sinister intention. Just wondering because the thought did occur to me.
Gotcha, Jean. Indeed the reference was (is?) to the Nobel Prize. I suspect there's always some politics involved. (Peace without politics is probably not an option.) But I felt that with all the wrangling over whether Obama deserves it or not, the fact is that in a hundred years of awarding a Peace Prize we're not any closer to a lasting peace, while the world is decidedly a more dangerous place.
Amen to that! How sad for all of us.
