==Appearances in art and popular culture== One of Price's original ''Droodles'' serves as the cover art for [[Frank Zappa]]'s 1982 album ''[[Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch]]''. Price's other captions for that drawing include "Mother pyramid feeding her baby." In the classic book [[The Little Prince]], written by [[Antoine de Saint-Exupéry]], a notable Droodle appears as part of one of the most iconic illustrations in the work. During one of the conversations between the Little Prince and the narrator, an intriguing drawing of a snake that swallowed an elephant is presented.<ref name=Voolaid /> Droodles gained popularity in [[Latin America]] through a famous TV show called [[El Chavo del Ocho]]. In one episode, characters draw figures similar to Droodles, creating iconic scenes in the show. By the end of [[Roberto Bolaño]]'s long novel [[The Savage Detectives]] the mysterious works by the lost poetess Cesárea Tinajero turn out to be a short series of Mexican culture visual puns, similar to Price's Droodles. There was also a droodle-based game called "Mysteriosos" on HBO's ''[[Braingames]]''.
