They're back and they have liver spots! This comical collection of of Jewish comedian portraiture is a sequel to 2006's wildly successful "Old Jewish Comedians," which earned Friedman raves from Jerry Lewis, Howard Stern, "The Believer, Entertainment Weekly" and many more, and earned Friedman his own roast at New York's legendary Friar's Club. This all-new collection includes the famous (Woody Allen, Carl Reiner, Joan Rivers, Mel Brooks, Soupy Sales, etc.), the not-so-famous (Jerry Stiller, Zeppo & Gummo Marx, Larry Storch, Zero Mostel, etc.) and the largely unknown (Molly Picon, Herbie Faye, Jan Milton, etc.). The Reuben Award-winning Friedman, one of the great caricaturists of his age, presents a thorough visual history of the 20th Century's greatest Borscht-Belt comedians through 28 full-page portraits; every crease, mustache hair, and liver spot looks utterly real. As "Booklist" put it after the first "OJC," "If only we were all funny enough to get Friedman to draw us!" Featuring an introduction by Larry Gelbart, the legendary creative force behind the "M*A*S*H" TV series and contributing writer to "The Huffington Post,".
