From 1957 to 1963, Jaffee drew the elongated "Tall Tales" panel for the "New York Herald Tribune", which was syndicated to over 100 newspapers. Jaffee credited its middling success with a pantomime format that was easy to sell abroad, but his higher-ups were unsatisfied with the strip's status: "The head of the syndicate, who was a certifiable idiot, said the reason it was not selling is we gotta put words in it. So they made me put words in it. Immediately lost 28 foreign papers." A collection of Jaffee's "Tall Tales" strips was published in 2008. Jaffee also scripted the short-lived strips "Debbie Deere" and "Jason" in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Since 1984, Jaffee has provided illustrations for "The Shpy," a lighthearted Jewish-themed adventure feature in Tzivos Hashem's bimonthly children's publication "The Moshiach Times".
