An amazing cartoonist.  Blessed with many years.

Funny unrelated story, last summer we were hiking out from a trout pond in the Adirondacks and came across a couple who were clearly lost. It was almost dark and after chatting I figured out where they had started from(miles away). I offered to drive them to their vehicle and they couldn't have been more grateful. As we were driving, the conversation turned to where from what do you do etc... turns out the guy was Richard Williams, who did alot of Mad cover art in the late 79s and 80s. Pretty cool and glad we were able to help him out. Rip Al

RIP.  Mad Magazine was a big part of my childhood.

Thanks for a long beautiful ride Al.  Never missed an issue.  Went right to your work, so well done.  You deserve it, RIP.

Mad Magazine was a major contributor to my warped way of seeing the world. RIP Al Jaffee, and thanks for all the fold-ins.

What, me die?

102 years young.  What a ride.  R.I.P. Al.

Bummer. Loved his work. Remember the Jerry issue? Classic.

Those MAD folks were way ahead of their time.

RIP Al.

Mad Magazine?! Are you sure you want the kids seeing that?

As a kid in south GA MAD magazine was an early affirmation that there were other weirdos out in the world.

RIP, Al.

Jaffee, Martin and Aragones all in one rag.

Hell of a line-up.
