That was Dave Berg.

Jaffe did snappy answers to stupid questions.

Could only imagine how much fun Al Jaffe would have today with trans madness.

Mad Magazine taunted everyone and everything—none of today’s snowflakes could read it without crying.

I started reading MAD when it was in color, sold in the comic book section of drug stores and newsstands. When I got kicked out of the Honor Society my mother blamed my MAD addiction and threw out my collection. But she was wrong. It was tennis, girls and cars. I still loved her, though….

Friday evening early spring 1958. Boarded a train in Ayer, MA (Ft. Devens) to head home to Pennsyltucky on a weekend pass. Grabbed a copy of a strange new magazine called “Mad” at the news stand before boarding. I laughed so hard for several hours down the tracks that other passengers thought I was cracking up.

That was Antonio Prohias, a refugee from Castro’s Cuba.

Instead of water in the office water cooler there was wine. It showed. Hilarious stuff in a simple to read magazine. It was the little tings in the margins that were gut splitting.

Read Mad Magazine all throughout my pre-teen and early teens. Had several of the paperbacks, including some of the “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions” series.

RIP Al Jaffe.
