Al Jaffee's Next Book

Al Jaffee's Next Book is a trio of paperback collections from New American Library, published between 1977 and 1982, that gather the legendary cartoonist's ingenious, single-panel gags and fold-in creations from the pages of Mad magazine. Written and drawn entirely by Jaffee himself, these slim volumes showcase his signature blend of sly wordplay, intricate visual puns, and deadpan absurdity. Though brief in number, the series captures Jaffee at the peak of his powers, preserving the work of one of satire's most inventive minds for a new generation of readers.
