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.

It Begins at Homely


I was happy yesterday to hear a radio program on NPR discussing something that has bothered me since the beginning of the Haiti disaster, the influx of media crews to that beleaguered slice of island. Reporters, television news personalities, camera crews, all of them eating, needing shelter, taking up living space, not to mention runway room at the airport. For what? So people can be informed? No way. It's a battle for a slice of the audience pie, bait to get folks to watch commercials. Imagine, NBC has a crew of 75 down there. And don't get me started on the venal creatures known as Haitian politicians, stealing relief money as fast as it arrives just as they've been stealing the billions in foreign aid we've been sending them since forever.

Humor is often the harbinger of truth. Sadly, your commentary is the truth.
