Al Jaffee Goes Bananas #AJ1285

Al Jaffee brings his signature rubber-faced absurdity to this 1982 Signet collection, with a cover — drawn and inked entirely by Jaffee himself — featuring a wide-eyed, bulbous-nosed character whose entire head is engulfed in an enormous bunch of bananas, the fruit doubling as wild, cascading hair. The tagline promises "other bunches of appeeling humor," and that cheerful groaner of a pun sets the tone perfectly for the wordplay and visual wit fans of Jaffee's MAD Magazine work will immediately recognize. A delightful snapshot of one of cartooning's sharpest comedic minds at full, fruit-fueled tilt.
