sloth unleashed

Mad magazine’s iconic back-page Fold-In is about to fold it in. Finito after 56 years. Because Al Jaffee, officially the longest-working comic artist ever, has decided to retire at age 99.

So to mark his farewell, Mad’s “Usual Gang of Idiots” will salute Jaffee with a tribute issue next week. It will be one of the magazine’s last issues to offer new material, including Jaffee’s final Fold-In, 65 years after he made his Mad debut.

This issue's Fold-In asks the burning question: "What Recent Spiritual Movement Has (Thank God) Burned Itself Out?" When you figure that one out, phone home to tell someone!
