Al Jaffee's Next Book #AJ1377

Al Jaffee — the mad genius behind decades of gleefully warped humor — bursts quite literally through the pages of his own book on this cover, with a grinning, wide-eyed cartoon figure tearing through paper with both hands as if escaping from the previous volume. Described right on the cover as "a hilarious collection of delicious leftovers from his previous book," this 1983 New American Library paperback is pure Jaffee from cover to cover, with every line of art drawn and inked by the man himself. At $1.95, it's a compact, cheerful package of the irreverent wit that made Al Jaffee a beloved fixture of American comedy.
