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.

Hoo Ha's On First

Even at age 10 I had a cartoonist's sense of irony and the absurdity of human existence. I remember being taken to a night game at Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn to watch the Dodgers play the Giants. As the game went into extra innings I was keenly aware of how ridiculous it was that in the middle of the night thousands of people were watching grown men play exactly the same game that my friends and I played. And somehow I also knew that it was really about selling hot dogs and beer. Face it, folks, homo erectus is doomed.
