Iconic American cartoonist Al Jaffee remains, at age 89, MAD Magazine’s oldest and most prolific contributor. He has lived a life as absurd and seemingly implausible as some of his satiric masterworks. Behind Jaffee’s beloved trademark dark humor lurks an even darker story of a childhood spent between two alien worlds, marked by tragedy and trauma. In her authorized biography, AL JAFFEE’S MAD (It Books; On sale: September 28, 2010; $27.99), award-winning journalist and bestselling author Mary-Lou Weisman tells the off-kilter life story of the man who countless fans know and love as the inventor of MAD’s singularly clever “Fold-in” and tireless purveyor of “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions.”
