amp;#8220;One of the great cartoonists of our time.amp;#8221; amp;#8211;New Yorker cartoonist Arnold Roth
The remarkable story of one of Americaamp;#8217;s most prolific and beloved cartoonists, Al Jaffee, with dozens of original color illustrations. Jaffeamp;#8217;s career in cartooning stretches back to 1941amp;#8212;with early humor pieces for Timely Comics, a precursor to Marvel Comicsamp;#8212;but the iconic artist remains best known for the brilliant Fold-In cartoons he invented at Bill Gainesamp;#8217;s Mad magazine in 1964. The cerebral and sardonic illustrations have inspired generations of Mad readersamp;#8212;including Stephen Colbert, R. Crumb, Gary Larson and Charles Shultzamp;#8212;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.
