Notable Doodlers
Many American Presidents (including Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton) have been known to doodle during meetings. Poet and physician John Keats doodled in the margins of his medical notes; other literary doodlers have included Samuel Beckett and Sylvia Plath. Mathematician Stanislaw Ulam developed the Ulam spiral for visualization of prime numbers while doodling during a boring presentation at a mathematics conference.
Doodling is a recurring device in the comedy of Larry David. In the 8th episode of Season 5 of Curb Your Enthusiasm David states that he "can't draw to save my life but yet I'm a very good doodler." The long-running comedy series Seinfeld, created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld includes a notable episode entitled "The Doodle", in which a crude drawing of George Costanza provides the mise en scène for subsequent friction between characters.
