Al Jaffee's Mad Book of Magic and Other Dirty Tricks #94-406 [2]

Al Jaffee's mischievous sensibility is on full display in this 1981 Warner Books paperback, with cover art entirely his own handiwork — pencils and inks both. The cover scene shows a grinning man enthusiastically sawing through a wooden box while a wide-eyed, laughing woman looks on, the classic "sawing in half" illusion rendered with Jaffee's signature rubbery caricature style. If you enjoy pranks, sleight-of-hand humor, and the particular brand of gleeful chaos that made MAD a institution, this little book promises plenty of it.
