Mad's Al Jaffee Spews Out Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions #34440

Al Jaffee's beloved MAD feature gets the paperback treatment in this 1986 Warner Books collection, with the cover itself already delivering the joke — a goofy, big-grinned character looming over a hapless fellow, surrounded by mock-serious text bubbles answering the meta-question "What's the book about?" with increasingly ridiculous responses. It's the perfect encapsulation of Jaffee's genius: the format is the punchline, and the cover earns its laughs before you've even cracked the spine. At $2.95, this pocket-sized compendium of gloriously sarcastic comebacks is hard to resist.
