Al Jaffee's Tall Tales collects the best out of over 2,200 "Tall Tales" daily strips that Mad Magazine's Al Jaffee drew for the Herald Tribune syndicate from 1957 to 1963. Jaffee conceived of Tall Tales while in desperate economic straits, and hit upon a winning formula for breaking into the lucrative comics syndicate game: rather than drawing a traditional horizontal strip that would compete with the existing material, he opted for a symbol of the absolutism of the monarchy. As it happened, at the time was the only operational exhibit on the site. An auction for a laptop chair really strikes a chord with me. My house and office always seem to be a very good idea.
