Acting Up and Acting Down

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.

poor guy, he looks terrified and puzzled. Great expression.
So great the way you always feel as though you've walked into the conversation after the fact. The expression of the guy's face obviates the need for more words from him. So many of your cartoons are structured like that John. It's a good strategy.
um... that would be "on the guy's face" not "of the guy's face" ;-)
Thanks, Jean. Yes, it's the actor/director in me, it's all in the reaction.
