Al Jaffee Meets His End #AJ1317

Published by New American Library in 1981, this Signet paperback collects Al Jaffee's twisted humor in a volume whose title earns its pun right on the cover — a cartoonish, rubbery figure bent completely over to stare at his own backside. Subtitled And Other Twisted Tales from the World of Humor, it promises the kind of gleefully absurdist comedy that made Jaffee a beloved name in satirical cartooning. A wonderfully goofy snapshot of early-'80s humor publishing, and an irresistible addition to any comedy shelf.
