Notes
From the collection of Annie Gaines Ashton. Bought from HA. Varied media on bond & art-stock pages. Bill Gaines would often take groups of his employees, their spouses, & some friends on lavish trips and expeditions. As a way to repay their host for his generosity, and in true MAD fashion, they would bite the hand that feeds them by lampooning him and the trip with bombastic artwork and jokes to commemorate the trip. Gaines collected these into his private “Trip Books”. The work is often raunchy, like a Friars’ Club Roast in book form. With the 1985 Trip Book, these are the first 2 Trip Books ever sold.
