T&C Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I had no idea that he was still alive much less working... one hell of a run from one of the greats. https://insidepulse.com/2020/06/07/legendary-cartoonist-retires-after-73-years-56-years-of-which-at-mad-magazine-at-99-years-old-al-jaffee-calls-it-a-career-after-pioneering-mads-fold-in-fold-out-art/?fbclid=IwAR2mLEes5Ei3NKDA1j6gnNKKMExw_NZgWbPJikdqWi92WIUAkedQii4PKHU 2 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 If you listened to my late mother, Mad magazine and the Three Stooges were directly responsible for the decline and fall of western civilization. Damned good sight she never looked at my National Lampoons. ? 2

Besides Mad, I used to read the Cracked comics too... but def liked Mad better. 1

You know, a guy like this is a perfect example of finding a job/profession you LOVE and make money at. He could have retired whenever he wanted to but kept going till almost 100 years old. Whippersnappers take note lol...
