"One of the great cartoonists of our time." -New Yorker cartoonist Arnold Roth The remarkable story of one of America's most prolific and beloved cartoonists, Al Jaffee, with dozens of original color illustrations. Jaffe's career in cartooning stretches back to 1941--with early humor pieces for Timely Comics, a precursor to Marvel Comics--but the iconic artist remains best known for the brilliant Fold-In cartoons he invented at Bill Gaines's Mad magazine in 1964. The cerebral and sardonic illustrations have inspired generations of Mad readers--including Stephen Colbert, R. Crumb, Gary Larson and Charles Shultz--to embrace a firm and healthy irreverence towards the status quo. New York Times columnist and bestselling author Mary-Lou Weisman (My Middle-Aged Baby Book) helps Jaffe tell his remarkable story.

Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Jaffee, Al; Flanders, Ryan; Thomson, Douglas. Good in Good dust jacket. 006186448X. "Told through first-person reminiscences and more than seventy original illustrations, [this book] reveals the astonishing life story of Al Jaffee (1921-2023) one of America's most influential and beloved cartoonists. Jaffee's inventive work has enlivened the pages of MAD Magazine since 1955. To date he has pickled three generations of American kids in the brine of satire, and continues to bring millions of childhoods to untimely ends with the knowledge that parents are hypocrites, teachers are dummies, politicians are liars, and life isn't fair. Jaffee's work for MAD has made him a cultural icon, but the compelling and at times bizarre story of his life has yet to be told."-dust jacket. 226 pages. Remainder mark to bottom edge otherwise unmarked with light wear. Tight and square. Average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. "With a career running from 1942 until 2020, Jaffee holds the Guinness World Record for having the longest career as a comic artist. In the half-century between April 1964 and April 2013, only one issue of MAD was published without containing new material by Jaffee"-Wikipedia. A quality copy of this fascinating life story.; Illustrations; 8vo.
