into Israeli territory.

New Hilarious Work:

'Unexpurgated' Story
CHEF BOY-AR-DEE ®
MEATLESS
SPAGHETTI SAUCE
Jules Feiffer is an acknowledged
classicist — as a cartoonist, as
illustrator, as storyteller.
He proves his skill with special
emphasis in the new Random-pub-
lished "The Unexpurgated Memoir
of Bernard Mergendeiler."
It is an hilarious work. It has
several plots. It's the story of a
man with many appeals, of a girl
in love, of a pregnancy . . . of a
man who sadistically loves to
punch and of the chap who tasted
of love and went his own way.
The ecstasy is as impressive as
the pathos. Combined, it is an im-
pressive document about life as the
cartoonist sees it — and he passes
his views on with great force by
means of his well told story in
numerous scenarios and excellent
cartoons.
So rich in flavor, you'd think you'd
cooked it all day. Who else but Chef
