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 *).

Pun in the Sun

Ironies abound. On this date in 1657 Asser Levy and Jacob Barsimon won the right to full citizenship in New Amsterdam, later to be renamed New York, the first Jews to do so. Also on this date, 232 years later, Adolph Hitler was born. Coincidence tells us what, but not why.

yew the evergreen or ewe the sheep?
Oh gosh this is getting confusing.

I think we need to reevaluate some assumptions about popular music. All those lyrics presumed to be "you" might actually be "ewe."

The Beatles:
I love ewe, I love ewe, I love ewe.

The Kinks:
Ewe've really got me going. Ewe got me so I can't sleep at night.
