Less Stephane Grappelli, and more Stephane Grapple-y.

A more judicious placing of milady’s leg and the artist would not have had to bother with violinist underwear.

@Raoul—Yes, he’s Fata, she’s Morgana. Famous post-impressionist comedy duo that rocked the fin de siècle Moulin Rouge circuit!

A satyr (?) in a hat plays the fiddle, while a big-haired stripper tortures the Moon from the famous early Melies film.
This cover would make me run away from whatever the book might be.
Still, this (and the Farting Dog books) explains why his E.T. sequel was so f’ing weird.
And with a name like “Kotzwinkle”, there was no chance for the poor chap to grow up normal anyway — might as well write sci-fi.
From what I saw on Goodreads, this is actually an accurate depiction of the contents. Yikes.

@BAM …wait, seriously?

@Bruce. Thanks to the link you provided, I now know that the Norwegian and Icelandic languages have a word just for “farting dog:” prompehunden and prumpuhundur, respectively.
I don’t know why they have such a specific word. Maybe it comes in handy when picking dogsled teams.
“Sven, what are you doing? You put the prompehunden nearest to the driver!”
