Al Jaffee Draws a Crowd #Y8226

Al Jaffee's 1978 paperback collection promises exactly what its title delivers — on the cover, a grinning cartoonist perches in a tree, sketchpad in hand, while a rowdy, rubber-faced crowd below strains and leers upward, hanging on his every line. The subtitle, "And Other Artfully Disguised Humorous Drawbacks," sets the tone perfectly for the wordplay and visual wit Jaffee brings to every page. With the complete package — writing, pencils, and inks — entirely in Jaffee's hands, this is a wonderfully pure showcase of one cartoonist's singular comedic vision.
