Al Jaffee (one of the Mad Magazine OGs, inventor of the Fold-In) just died at 102.

Use this thread to talk about how Mad Magazine was really funny when you were a kid but then started to suck when you entered your teens.

MAD meant a lot to me as an X-ennial or whatever the gently caress they call people born in 1980 and it was good until Bill Gaines died and ads started showing up.

Honestly, the amount of work and pre-thought to make those fold-ins is honestly genius. I logistically could never do that month after month.

Each one was painted on masonite board, so could not actually be folded. Jaffe had to plan every one really carefully, because checking the final product was basically impossible until it was too late. He did one for every single monthly (and quarterly) issue but one.

As the resident boomer, I really liked Mad Magazine, and was saddened when it folded. I'll miss Al's talents.

Chemical Ali was executed by hanging on 25 January 2010. While he was sentenced to death on four separate occasions, the original 2007 verdict sentenced him to five death sentences, and so the combined tally of death sentences handed out was eight
