THE PATAPHYSICAL FLOOK


In the 1960s George Melly and Wally Fawkes, both jazz musicians, wrote and illustrated respectively a long-running cartoon strip called “Flook”, in, of all places, The Daily Mail. Melly was a close friend of Simon Watson Taylor, then a Proveditor of the Collège de ’Pataphysique and to entertain him would smuggle references to the Science into this heart of unconsciously pataphysical journalism: a history which is recounted in this booklet.
