NYC: HUMBUG Signing Tonight


FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS AND THE STRAND PRESENT:

AN EVENING OF HUMBUG

In 1957, five artists — Harvey Kurtzman, Will Elder, Arnold Roth, Al Jaffee and Jack Davis — hot on the heels of creating MAD magazine, pooled their money and their talent and entered into the creative, exuberant folly of a lifetime by creating the greatest satirical magazine of their careers. Join Humbug co-founders Arnold Roth and Al Jaffee in a book signing and discussion about this historic publication with Fantagraphics Publisher and editor of the collected Humbug, Gary Groth. Attendees will also enjoy an exclusive screening of a documentary short film about the late Will Elder.

Featuring Arnold Roth and Al Jaffee in conversation with Gary Groth

Arnie Roth is one of my top all-time favorite gag cartoonists ... very, very funny stuff ... a true cartoon pioneer ...

I had the pleasure of meeting Arnie through my Syracuse school ... the person is just as great as the cartoons ...
