I love Al Jaffee
I love this picture of his brother's painting of an airplane (which is fine) and which has the reflection of the person taking the picture clearly visible
And I love that Jaffee worked for a magazine called Trump, that there even was a magazine called Trump, a rival to Playboy.
I love this article.

I had the sort of lonely, anxious childhood that made MAD magazine and this man's artwork treasure.
