(W/A) Al Jaffee (W) Mary-Lou Weisman Al Jaffee's inventive work has enlivened the pages of MAD since 1955. To date he has pickled three generations of American kids in the brine of satire, and continues to bring millions of childhoods to untimely ends with the knowledge that parents are hypocrites, teachers are dummies, politicians are liars, and life isn't fair. Though Jaffee has become a cultural icon, the most compelling part of his life story has yet to be told. This biography presents the remarkable story of one of America's most prolific and beloved cartoonists.
