Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 10, 2023 Hash Fellow Posted April 10, 2023 NY Times Obit: Al Jaffee, King of the Mad Magazine Fold-In, Dies at 102 "For 55 years, he encouraged fans of the satiric magazine to mutilate it." Quote When Mr. Jaffee was 6, his mother threw their domestic life into turmoil by taking him and his three younger brothers back to her shtetl in Lithuania. The visit was supposed to last a month, but it stretched into a tug of war between the two parents that lasted six years, most of which Al spent in Lithuania living in what he described as 19th-century conditions. Damn. Lucky they got out of there in time! Quote

Hollywood Reporter NPR Rolling Stone That's impressive. If I'm being honest, though, if I'm 99 and still working I hope it is out of love of the work and not because I have to. Quote
