Parody of real jazzman Thelonius Monk in the children's picture book Babar Comes to America (1965) by Laurent de Brunhoff. He appears in a single panel as visiting royalty Babar visits a New York nightclub to see him.
However, Priest is drawn looking like Dizzy Gillespie, with a trumpet and giant, puffed-out cheeks. Thelonius Monk was a pianist, not a horn player.
