Mad magazine legend Al Jaffee retires at age 99
I think jaffees humor ended up being more timeless due to being more abstract.As a kid (mid 90s) I remember acquiring some issues from the 50s and 60s. My impression was:1. The artwork was way more compelling in the 50s into the 70s. More detailed, literally darker, somewhat more inspired by comic books.2. Most of the humor was absolutely foreign to me. Except jaffees stuff, which seemed timeless.The fold ins sometimes didn't land, but some of that was too specific to events that didn't resonate.I was a fan of Dave Bergs stuff for the same reason. His political humor generally could be made current with minor tweaks.Also can anyone explain the longevity of these Mad stalwarts?
