Even More Old Jewish Comedians features master caricaturist/portraitist Drew Friedman's spectacular visual tribute to, well, old Jewish comedians. Its net is thrown a bit wider to include women (Olive Oyl voice Mae Questel, Ed Sullivan Show regular Jean Carroll, and The Rise of the Goldbergs creator Gertrude Goldberg); a handful of more contemporary figures (Richard Belzer, whose Law & Order: SVU gig has eclipsed his stand-up comedy, and Welcome Back, Kotter's Gabe Kaplan); and pop-culture legends (Prof. Irwin Corey, legendary Warner Bros. voice artist Mel Blanc), plus Marty Ingels, Fyvush Finkel, Gary Morton, Sam Levenson, Bobby Remsen, Max Patkin, Marvin Kaplan, Norm Crosby, Sammy Shore, Joey Adams, Lou Jacobi, and Sid James.

This is a beautiful tribute to all the men & women who have made life a joy. If Job had a copy and had known these people, he would never had written that terrible book., This is a beautiful tribute to all the men &women who have made life a joy. If Job hada copy and had known these people, hewould never had written that terrible book., Although he continues to present people in less-than-flattering terms -- nobody's about to use a Drew Friedman portrait as their JDate profile -- his affectionate undertone continues to push its way to the fore. The Old Jewish Comedians series from Fantagraphics is frank yet loving.
