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.

Hope Springs Infernal

In the throes of political dysfunction unprecedented in American politics, we're often told that politicians have always been a scrappy, partisan mob, but there's a difference. It used to be that they fought for their ideals, nowadays they fight for the less than idealistic interests of their big money sponsors.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington would suggest politicians have always been corrupt, but I agree it has reached alarmingly brazen proportions. Our Secretary of the Treasury is a tax cheater. How ironic is that. Not to single him out... it seems pretty common among the Washington elite.

Andrew, you make a lot of sense. So tired of all the posturing and inefficiency of Washington. Love this cartoon, John C. I agree wholeheartedly with them. Sometimes it is difficult to dream.
