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 *).

Fright Risk


Officials are now claiming that they realized the guy who attempted to blow up the plane on Christmas day was a potential terrorist while the flight was already en route. However, they say, even had they questioned him in Amsterdam he probably would have been allowed to travel, since they had no reason to believe he was an immediate threat. I guess the bomb in his underwear doesn't count.

Beats me why they can't use detection dogs (like drug dogs) to sniff out potential threats. Would be a whole lot easier and more effective than scanners and xrays.

Funny also how almost without exception people like me who don't fit the demographic are pulled over for an explosives test while the dark brooding middle eastern looking guy sails through. It's political correctness gone ape in my view. And there is the possibility this only happens in Australia.

Love this cartoon, John C. Jean, the same thing happens over here. PC still reigns supreme.
