One of the first things I did with a new Mad was fold the back cover to see Mr. Jaffee's artwork "change". I also loved his "Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions". RIP Mr. Jaffee..

He was in Savannah, GA not long ago with the other artist from Mad Magazine. I was bummed when I found out I missed it..

Good

It was the first English magazine I subscribed to. Love his drawings. Got dozen and dozen of the Mad books.

My favorite drawings was a guy going on a roller coaster ride and was smiling from frame 1 right to the last one when you find out that he is "paralyzed" in the position...

The last thing I am is error free. I posted RIP without reading the article and it took awhile to figure out that he was still among us. Sad when these icons from our childhood pass, I always liked Don Martin and was sad when he went. He even had a vanity license plate that said "SHTOINK".

We had a janitor at my high school that looked exactly like the Don Martin character.

MAD tv brings back some good memories from reading the magazine in my youth.

My son likes Spy vs Spy.
