Title: RIP Al Jaffee - What, Me Worry?
Post by: garyhead on April 11, 2023, 07:04:01 AM

The ole Fold-In Cartoonist for MAD Magazine made it to 102!  Another of our childhood icons gone.

102!
He was a big part of my childhood, those fold-ins are iconic.  Best wishes to his friends and family.

I just saw this news, came here to post it, and found this thread.  As I imagined, I’m not the only one around here who grew up with Mad Magazine.    The back cover fold-ins were the first thing I checked out with each issue.   I still remember well the one where LBJ is showing off his scar.  When folded, it was a pic of Vietnam.   102?  Pretty good run!

May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

Bill, tgo

We (at least we of your children's generation) shall miss you greatly, Mr. Jaffee.
