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.

Amurika de Bee-yoo-tee-full


I went to a Quaker high school. We once went into a poor Philadelphia neighborhood to help repaint badly run-down apartments. One of our teachers recalled discussing with a group of local kids the idea of talking out differences rather than settling them by fighting. A gang leader spoke up, "What?" he said, "And take all the fun out of life?"

You really hit the nail on the head here John. Love the cartoon! LOL

PS What an interesting experience to have gone to a quaker school. Your life has been and continues to be wonderfully rich and varied!

John C., three well drawn and excellent cartoons in a row. Be careful, you will spoil us! I always refer to myself as a Cathquak as I was born Catholic, embraced Quakerism in the 60-90 but now back to being half Catholic and half Quaker.

Or a Quakolic, huh, Lee? [grin]

I myself am a Quakapalian. With a Jewish mother, no less.

Thanks, Jean and Lee!
