Last night I saw the GREAT Mad Magazine cartoonist Al Jaffe.
He told some very funny stories about his life as a cartoonist.
He's 89 years old and yes, he still works for Mad Magazine.
I was lucky to purchase an autographed copy of "Tall Tales"

a wordless strip he created in the mid-1950s. If you have the

opportunity drop by The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art

to see some of his work.
