Al Jaffee
Allan Jaffee (born March 13, 1921), known as Al, born Abraham, is an American cartoonist. He is notable for his work in the satirical magazine ''Mad'', including his trademark feature, the Mad Fold-in. As of 2014, Jaffee remains a regular in the magazine after 59 years and is its longest-running contributor. In the half century between April 1964 and April 2013, only one issue of ''Mad'' was published without containing new material by Jaffee.〔Mike Slaubaugh, ("''Mad'' Magazine Streaks" ) Issues #1–506, Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne, 2010.〕〔"Wondercon Special Guests"; ''Comic-Con'' magazine; Winter 2010; page 18.〕 In a 2010 interview, Jaffee said, "Serious people my age are dead."
In 2008, Jaffee was honored by the Reuben Awards as the Cartoonist of the Year. ''New Yorker'' cartoonist Arnold Roth said, "Al Jaffee is one of the great cartoonists of our time."〔''Fold This Book!'', Warner Books, 1997, ISBN 0-446-91212-3.〕 Describing Jaffee, ''Peanuts'' creator Charles Schulz wrote, "Al can cartoon anything."
==Early life==
Jaffee was born March 13, 1921 in Savannah, Georgia to Mildred and Morris Jaffee, the oldest of four children, all sons. His parents were both immigrants from Zarasai, Lithuania. His father had a management job at a department store.
In 1927, Mildred Jaffee took her four sons, with Morris's acquiescence, to Zarasai. After one year, Morris Jaffee showed up and took the family back to the United States. After a year, Mildred took the four sons back to Lithuania. After four more years, Morris showed up, and took the eldest three sons back to the United States. The youngest son would get out in 1940, and Mildred presumably perished after the Nazi invasion.〔Cowan, Alison Leigh (October 1, 2010). ("New Sketch of a Madcap’s Mad Life" ). ''The New York Times''.〕 He studied at the High School of Music & Art in New York City in the late 1930s, along with his brother Harry and future ''Mad'' personnel Will Elder, Harvey Kurtzman, John Severin and Al Feldstein.〔Mark Evanier, ''Mad Art'', Watson-Guptill Publications, 2002, ISBN 0-8230-3080-6.〕〔
