Al Jaffee Gets His Just Desserts #J9838

Al Jaffee's gleefully messy sensibility is on full display with this 1981 New American Library collection, subtitled "…and other sweet nothings from the world of humor." The cover, drawn and inked by Jaffee himself, features a rotund, wild-haired fellow absolutely buried in sundaes, ice cream cones, and layered cakes while colorful globs of goo splatter in every direction — pure sugary chaos rendered with Jaffee's unmistakable rubbery style. If you've ever wanted your humor with extra whipped cream, this is a fine place to dig in.
