Droodles by Roger Price (from his 1953 book). Droodles (a blend of “doodle”, “drawing”, “riddle”) are simple drawings with a witty, often absurd, caption. The first one, as some of you may know, was used by Frank Zappa for his 1982 album, Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch. (Zappa, a fan of Price's work, lived just a few miles from the artist and personally sought permission to use the image.)

These come from the 1972 edition of the book.

Earlier today I had a fun moment where I had a thought, and then realized I could express that thought in Valya! Not that I know the language well enough to actually think in it in the moment, but I knew I had all the words and bits of grammar to express it.

Or, almost. I forgot that I didn’t actually have a word for “door,” but now I do: ntfüri It’s derived from the word for “swing,” as in “something that swings open” (or really “something that is swung open”).

“Before I went outside to shovel, I saw a wren on the shovel just outside the door.”

It was a Carolina wren, one of my favorite birds, and it’s always nice to see one up close!
