Thanks for the great article! I made a portrait of Big Al for his 90th birthday. You can see it on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/03/al-jaffee-master-of-fold-in-turns-90.html

MAD was one of the best cartoon magazines
I ever read, however, it’s virtually unavailable here in Córdoba, Argentina where I mostly lived and worked.
Al’s drawings for MAD are unique for me making me a confessed admirer for him as soon as I could read the first MAD which reached my hands at the library of a now closed bi-national local academy where I worked as an English language teacher and post-grad courses’ tutor.

I was always stressed trying to fold-in the back cover without creasing it! The comic book collector brain versus the MAD brain. The desire to see the Jaffe Easter Egg almost always won!
