RIP to the legendary Al Jaffee.
Al was a longtime member (almost his whole career) of “the Usual Gang of Idiots” at Mad Magazine, most will recognize his regular contributions of “fold-in” pieces.
Sleep well, and thanks for the laughs Al.
Truly a genius, and I read somewhere that there was only one issue in all those years he didn’t make a Fold-In for. I liked his articles more than the Fold-Ins, because the guy had an amazingly creative mind and awesome drawing style.
