Description
This companion volume to Will Elder: the Mad Playboy of Art peers into the gray matter of one of comics’ most fertile and wide-ranging imaginations. Elder coined the term ‘chicken fat’ to describe the myriad background gags crammed into his stories for MAD, Panic, Humbug, Goodman Beaver and Little Annie Fanny. It’s the part of the soup that’s bad for you, yet gives the delicious flavour’, he once explained. This is a collection over the course of Elder’s long career – the ultimate indulgence for any Elder fan or cartoon enthusiast.’
