Comics and Comedy celebrate DROODLES with Emmy-winner Fritz Holznagel

Emmy-winning writer Fritz Holznagel will be celebrating the release of The Ultimate Droodles Compendium at Hub Comics in Somerville this Saturday, March 16 at 2 p.m. Here’s a link to the event info.

Before he delighted fans with Mad Libs, comedian Roger Price invented Droodles — absurdly funny drawings that joined hula hoops and UFOs as one of the biggest fads of the 1950s. At the peak of their popularity, Droodles had their own TV show, daily newspaper column, bestselling books, and even cocktail napkins. But Droodles — and the remarkable legacy of Roger Price — have been forgotten by all but a few diehard fans. Until now!

Come out to draw your own Droodles, guess the captions, meet Fritz and have some fun with the whole family.
