Al Jaffee Gets His Just Desserts

Al Jaffee, the legendary MAD magazine cartoonist, turned his sharp, absurdist wit to this short-lived 1980–1981 series from New American Library. Across just two issues, Jaffee serves up a feast of his signature single-panel gags and playful, food-themed visual humor. While a minor entry in his vast career, the series captures the master's distinctive voice at a time when his work was reaching a broad mainstream audience.
