AL JAFFEE (b. 1921) joined MAD's "usual gang of idiots" in 1955. He is most famous for the MAD Fold-In covers, and the biting humor of his "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" feature, which has been compiled into several successful paperback books. He began his career in comics in 1940 doing mainly teen humor features for Timely. He continues to do work in advertising and illustrate children's books.
