| One of Price's original Droodles serves as the cover art for Frank Zappa's 1982 album. |
Droodles was a syndicated cartoon feature created by
Roger Price and collected in his 1953 book
Droodles. The trademarked name "Droodle" is a nonsense word suggesting "doodle", "drawing" and "riddle."
Their general form is minimal: a square box containing a few abstract pictorial elements with a caption (or several) giving a humorous explanation of the picture's subject.

ReplyDeleteJe passe pas souvent sur internet...mais quand j'y viens, j'ai toujours des surprises agréables. Tu te souviens surement pas de moi, je travaillais au Vol de Nuit et je passais mon temps au resto a coté, le Prince Arthur (?), on écoutait Tom Waits, encore aujourd'hui hein....
Ça fait plaisir de te recroiser

C'était bien le Prince Arthur. Il a disparu mais le Vol de Nuit tient la route.
