He’d challenge the audience to send in doodles of squiggly lines with which he could create new artwork, and letters from all over the country would come to the studio, all with funny squiggly lines. Then, right before our very eyes, he’d take a squiggly line and add more squiggly lines to it, until voilà—there, for all to see, was a new drawing.<\/p>\n
