Al Jaffee, Mad magazine and Fold-In cartoonist, dead at 102
Read more:“When I was done, I called up the producer who’d contacted me, and I said, ‘I’ve finished the Fold-In, where shall I send it?’ And he said — and this was a great compliment — ‘Oh, please Mr. Jaffee, could you deliver it in person? The whole crew wants to meet you,’” he told The Boston Phoenix.Jaffee received numerous awards, and in 2013 was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, the ceremony taking place at San Diego Comic-Con International.
Art was the saving presence of his childhood, which left him with permanent distrust of adults and authority. He was born in Savannah, Ga., but for years was torn between the U.S., where his father preferred to live, and Lithuania, where his mother longed to return. In Lithuania, Jaffee endured poverty and bullying, but also developed his craft. With paper scarce and no school to attend, he learned to read and write through the comic strips mailed by his father.
He had a long career before Mad. He drew for Timely Comics, which became Marvel Comics; and for several years sketched the “Tall Tales” panel for the New York Herald Tribune. Jaffee first contributed to Mad in the mid-1950s. He left when Kurtzmann quit the magazine but came back in 1964.Mad lost much of its readership and edge after the 1970s, and Jaffee outlived virtually all of the magazine’s stars.
