		His cartoons have a distinctive style, often with a musical theme, and are still beloved of musicians everywhere.

		Mais pourquoi Hoffnung, parce qu’aussi bien vous pouvez remarquer depuis quelques jours un léger flottement sur mon blog, et je remercie quelques uns d’entre vous de vous être enquis de ma santé… Tout va bien, juste un peu débordé et surtout une prise de conscience de l’ampleur du travail.

	:) From Gerard Hoffnung: French widow affords delightful prospects (translation humor) (ProZ.com: Translator Coop)
		In a thread I posted a few days ago about involuntarily funny translations, someone quoted the translation about a \"French widow in every room, affording delightful prospects.
		In fact this \"translation\" is apocryphal: it is part of a piece written by musician and humorist Gerard Hoffnung, purported to be a letter from a Tyrolean hotel owner in response to a query.
		I knew it was from a book by Hoffnung but I couldn\'t find the book and the \"French widow\" was just one phrase from it which had stuck in my mind.
