Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Reading Moth by Candlelight

Fritz Schwimbeck (1889 - 1972)
A black-and-white drawing of a moth reading a book many times its size. The flame of the candle resembles a skull, and the twirling smoke looks like a hand reaching towards the moth.

In trying to answer the question, "What is your favourite photo of a novelist with a cat?" I have probably forgotten some absolute crackers but right now the one that immediately comes to mind is this one of Georges Perec and Duchat, taken by Anne de Brunhoff in 1978.
George Perec, the genius author of Life A User's Manual, with a black cat, who is trying to use her tail to give George an extra beard

Call me a luddite but I kind of prefer the old version of the Devil who used to put a murrain on crops and command his demon dogs to terrorise church congregations to the new one who insists on having an app for everything and gets rich by designing clever ways of capitalising on people's fatigue.

I'm at the "but I absolutely need to buy a new notebook because all the ones I have are just not *quite* right" stage of writing avoidance.
