Al Jaffee's Mad (Yecch!) Monstrosities #88-731

Al Jaffee — the "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" kid himself — serves up a delightfully deranged collection in this 1978 Warner Books paperback. The cover, drawn by Jaffee, features Alfred E. Neuman perched at the center of a mad-scientist tableau, flanked by a grotesque drooling creature on the left and a grinning lab-coated figure on the right, all set against a swirling, germ-infested background while speech bubbles trade the gag "Is that your monster, master?" / "No, it's my master, monster!" The promise of "revolting tales" — including "A Disgusting (Yecch!) Weather Story" — makes this a wonderfully warped showcase of Jaffee's singular comedic imagination.
