Al Jaffee (1921)
Al Jaffee Tall Tales Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 10-5-62 (New York Herald Tribune, 1962). Already a presence in MAD, Jaffee also re-shaped the newspapers' comics pages with Tall Tales -- a narrow vertical panel that was usually wordless, or with minimal dialogue. This ironic gag was created in ink over blue pencil on Bristol board with an image area of 2.75" x 10.25". Signed by Jaffee in the bottom right. Slight toning, residue staining from a missing stat logo, discolored text and syndicate paste-ups, marginal notes, whiteout touch-ups, with light staining and handling wear. In Very Good condition.
