MAD magazine…now that’s a callback to childhood.
ReplyAre we retreating from Moscow, mon General? Non! We’re advancing on Paris mon Idiot! Are you sleeping? No, I’m dead. Leave the flowers and get out. RIP, Mr. Jaffee.

ReplyWow, 102!! A life that was well lived and brought a great deal of joy to so many people. RIP
ReplyWell most of the mad staff are back together again in the afterlife. Now Bill can take them on more of the famous mad Crew vacations.
ReplyMAD magazine played a bigger role in shaping how i see the world, then parents, teachers, politicians. Some of the greatest art of all time were between those covers.
ReplyThank you AL ……….You will be missed but remembered forever
ReplyVale, Al Jaffee. Thanks for all the mad fun…
ReplyNo!
ReplyAw, man.
I loved reading MAD when I was growing up, and Al usually stood out from the usual gang of idiots, possibly by standing on them. Thanks for the whimsical tribute.
ReplyOf all of the MAD magazine artists/contributors, Al Jaffee was by far my favorite. I couldn’t read his “Snappy Answers….” books without literally rolling around, screaming with laughter. I loved the “Comebacks to Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions” equally. RIP Al, and thank you for helping to corrupt my childhood, too, along with the 3 Stooges, Monty Python, Cheech and Chong and so many other comedy greats.
ReplyDamn, sad to hear Al died. That guy owed me twelve bucks!
