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 *).

If At First You Don't Succeed, Appeal the Decision


A friend of mine asked to be excused from jury duty because he was needed where he worked. "Your employer will have to make do without you," the judge told him, "you're not indispensable." I know," my friend answered, "but I don't want my boss to find out."

Supply and demand forces judges in Los Angeles county to be strict with jurors. Under California law, jurors must be English-speaking U.S. citizens without a felony record, so the jury pool is very small. If you meet the eligibility and have a pulse, they won't take excuses.

Thanks, Lee and Jean.

Andrew, I'm of an age where all I need to do is tell them I have to go to the bathroom often and I get excused. Reminds me of a recent "Frazz" comic strip. Kid asks to go to the lavatory and the teacher asks "one or two." "Three or four," the boy answers. In the final panel he explains he thought she meant how many times had he gone already.
