| When you mention Spike
Jones, most people think you mean Spike Jonze, the film director, with a
“ze.” The original Spike Jones was a bandleader known for his
parodies of popular songs, a “master of musical mayhem,” partial
to the sounds of hiccups, foghorns, gargling and gunshots. Realizing that this was a rare opportunity to use every zany typeface I’ve ever loved, including the one that looks like hot dogs, I went to town.
