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 *).

HAPPY NEW DECADE


2005. It's coming to the end of the year and I'm winging across the Atlantic going to Italy. The cabin is dark, most passengers are sleeping. I go to chat up the flight attendant and there's this fellow spreading out his prayer rug back opposite the galley, arranged to face Mecca. I run to my seat and get my sketchbook. People have asked me how I know he was facing Mecca. Duh.

Terrific illustration John. People do the darndest things at 30,000 feet! Nothing nearly as exciting as the mecca mat but once had to dodge someone doing pilates in the aisle. LOL I guess we just have to grateful the pilot wasn't partaking of the mat but who knows what goes on on the flightdeck... grin
