I like that your penmanship has hardly changed since then.

All the people who find me to be a snarky jerk have Al Jaffee to thank. He is a true inspiration.

[intell]

Yours were pretty good!

man, I used to have this book.
I was not clever enough to write anything in the blanks back then, nor to even understand some of the jokes. thanks for posting, I get it now!

MAD was the best.

Is it snowing?
No, I was attacked by pigeons.

Are you asleep?
No, I’m getting an invisible massage.

[Dharmabum]

Am I sexy, Henry?
What’s Sex E?

[PsiPhiGrrrl]

Is it snowing?
No, the asbestos on the roof is worse than I thought.

Are you asleep?
No, this is a yoga pose: the downward-facing dreamer.

Am I sexy?
No, dear. It’s pronounced Beck-y, remember?

Going on a trip?
Nope, just getting rid of what’s left of the salesmen who asked me that question.

[Loudmouth]

I-I am speechless.

[wolfman_al2]

Hehe, very nice.

[Alacritous_Crier]

Lizards coffins was a nice touch.

[Gyrofrog]

It would seem he’s outlasted MAD – it’s all re-prints now, no? Or is he still doing new fold-ins?

[Malarkey]

WAY before Bill Engvall!

[abutilon]

Pillow inspector! My new dream job!

[Israel_B]

Al Jaffe is a treasure! Lived an incredible life and gave a few generations so many laughs.
