It would be nice if you or the author of the original article had credited the drawing to its creator, Roger Price. It appeared, with caption, in his book DROODLES, a quarter of a century before Zappa’s album.
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your comment. I was aware that the caption didn’t originate with Zappa’s album, but was unaware of the backstory. It’s good now that I can refer to that in my own presentations.
Best,
Dave
