“Doodling very genuinely reflects the different things that occupy our thoughts when we’re not paying attention,” said Prince, who launched the journal two years ago with friends Kean Haunt ’17, Krista Duke ’15, and Nolan Ellsworth ’17. “It’s remarkable how distinct peoples’ doodles are from one another–some people joke when they doodle, others vent, others just connect dots.”

The friends recognized that many of these drawings, which would likely be seen by no one but the artist, were worth sharing with a wider audience.

The idea for a publication came about when Prince, a confessed doodler himself, took a class with Haunt and was struck by his notebook sketches. “I was so entertained by them,” says Prince. “They were full of life and humor, unlike his notes.”
