A Marching Parade

Al Jaffee Meets His End and Other Twisted Tales from the World of Humor (Signet Books, 1979).
Complete 6-Page Story "A Marching Parade" Production Materials with Minimal Additional Art-Retouching
Jaffee's ability to "draw with scissors," as the saying goes, derives plenty of additional mileage from multiple copies of one simple basic drawing, with repetitions and embellishments to form a complete sequential narrative gag.
The tenured MAD gagman depicts here a disastrous military formation as it progresses toward a grim visual punchline.
The little guy in the spotted hat (left) is Jaffee's self-caricature, a crossover presence since the artist's Tall Tales comic strip of the 1950s-1960s.
Ink retouching/expansion (with blue pencil) of stat-collages, affixed to Bristol board (with matched hand-cut spot-shading overlays).
Image area, 4.25" x 7".
Excellent condition, with natural paste-up seams.
