This collection of cartoons comes from another, but parellel, universe. Be sure to read the preface first. As always, his "stories" have a little twist to them. If you haven't seen any Al Jaffee (What! Of course you have.) he can be thought of in the same breath (boy, that's a lousy piece of wording) as Chas Addams, only usually not quite so dark. This one is going into my bathroom library to amuse my visitors. ( )
The meat of this is just page after page of tall, skinny sight gags, executed in the classic Jaffee style that MAD Magazine nuts know down to our bones. This is a fine, thin little book and funny besides. Premis
Tall Tales was an innovative newspaper strip syndicated internationally by the New York Herald Tribune from 1957-1963. Whereas newspaper strips are square, single-panel or multiple-panel horizontal gag cartoons, Al Jaffee, known for the Fold-In in MAD Magazine, once again altered the format of his work to create a vertical strip--the first, and last, in newspaper history. Tall Tales contains the best 120 wordless strips out of over 2,200, scanned from the original files. The book features a new preface by Jaffee and an introduction by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report. "Al Jaffee is the cartoonist's cartoonist. He's a pioneer in every field, from comic books to book illustration to magazine cartoons. The worst thing about Jaffee is that every time I do a drawing, I find out he's done it before . . . and better."--Sergio Aragonés, cartoonist "This collection proves that not only has Al Jaffee always been funny, he's always been disturbed." -- Stephen Colbert, from his introduction No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
