Al Jaffee, RIP

Over a month ago, I'd written about the history of MAD magazine cartoonist Al Jaffee, who'd lived to be as old as 102. Now, CBS has reported he's sadly passed away:
Al Jaffee, Mad magazine's award-winning cartoonist and ageless wise guy who delighted millions of kids with the sneaky fun of the Fold-In and the snark of "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions," has died. He was 102.

Jaffee died Monday in Manhattan from multiple organ failure, according to his granddaughter, Fani Thomson. He had retired at the age of 99.
He certainly did work in the art for a long time, and his contributions of the past are greatly appreciated. Now, sadly, he's gone. Let's make sure his satires are remembered fondly for years to come.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
