Mad Magazine Artist Al Jaffee Turns 100 Years

Al Jaffee made his first Mad Magazine debut 65 years ago. Jaffee is famous for creating the “Fold-In” and “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.” will be 100 years on March 13. Because of him, kids across the world folded their magazines to reveal “hidden” answers that satirized politics, pop culture and social trends. Most of the original Usual Gang of Idiots are long gone, Al just keeps chugging along. Happy Birthday, Al!
