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 *).

Ruining Mate


"The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal.... is, I think, the ultimate indignity for the democratic process." Adlai E. Stevenson. It's a little known fact that in 1956 Stevenson chose not to select a running mate, preferring to leave it up to the Democratic Party convention. They chose Estes Kefauver, who won out over the then Junior Senator from Massachusetts John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

It's a good thing that she's not a democrat then! LOL Poor old Sarah Palin... aren't we finished with her yet? There have been more than enough bumbling and incompetent male politicians of every persuasion... but Sarah's a woman... so that makes it different I guess.
