Description

New York Times Herald, 1959
2.75” x 10.25”
Great gag!

Was included in the Al Jaffe Tall Tales collection (2008) on page 58. Finding out that this made it into the curated collection after I bought it...that makes me happy. Maybe some of the great advice I've gotten from seasoned collectors on how to spot quality illustration is finally rubbing off..

Really cool as it shows Jaffe worked in the gag to the format and tells the story visually from top down, then up again.
