The Ultimate Droodles Compendium
A salute to the funny cartoons of misplaced American humorist Roger Price
Before the inspired nonsense of Monty Python, David Letterman, and The Far Side, there were Droodles. With just a few squiggles in a simple square, Roger Price created absurd scenes like “Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch” (later a Frank Zappa album cover) and “Octopus signaling for a left turn” that turned Droodles into one of the biggest fads of the 1950s.
The Ultimate Droodles Compendium includes Roger Price’s 352 most famous Droodles in vibrant black and white, with notes and comment by Fritz, along with his full history of Price and Droodles. Plus! A lovely tribute to Roger Price by beloved film critic Leonard Maltin. Great for adults, and even better for kids.
“I’m so pleased that Roger Price is being rediscovered by new generations who haven’t seen his work before. It’s brilliant!”
— Carl Reiner, TV legend and creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show
“Finally, a book that honors the great Droodler, Roger Price!”
— Carla Sinclair, co-founder of Boing Boing
“Buy this book now! It’s later than you think!”
