My name is Al Jaffe and I'm a journeyman cartoonist. I found my passion for drawing when I was very, very young. I like to do cartooning and sometimes illustration because that's the thing that I really enjoy immensely. You know, I have a certificate that I received on my 95th birthday from the Guinness Book of World Records that I am the longest working cartoonist in history and it's been a very pleasurable 60 years because I respect the people at Mad. I don't like to use the term we were a family because it's so overused. Everyone's a family. The Yankees are a family. The Dodgers are a family. What you do is you wake up every Monday morning and you say, what am I gonna produce now to make a book? And one morning I woke up and I spread out all the magazines I had was subscribing to. The way we work is something triggers a thought and what triggered in me was if all of them are doing expensive full-color foldouts, why doesn't Mad Magazine do a cheap fold-in? Then I looked in the newspaper and there was a story about Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and Eddie Fisher accusations that Elizabeth Taylor was going from one guy to another and I thought, well, you know, that might make a fold-in. The question was something like who's gonna be Elizabeth Taylor's next and we thought it would be Richard Burton but if you fold it in it it was just that guy on the right side and it says some guy in the crowd and that was the gag. Took it into the editor Al Feltstein. I said, how? I've got an idea that strikes me funny but you're gonna reject it because if you printed it it would mutilate the page in the magazine. He looked at it he says, I liked this and he immediately jumped up and ran into Bill Gaines publisher and then came back to me and he says, Bill said, let's do it. If the kid folds the page and he feels he's ruined the magazine, he'll buy another magazine for his collection. Whatever the money man. So I did it a couple of weeks later Feltstein rushes up to me and said, where's the next fold in? I said, oh, there is no next fold in. That's it. There was a one-time gag. He says, I want another fold in. So I went back to work and fortunately there was something good going on at that time where goldwater and Rockefeller were fighting for the Republican nomination. And an idea popped into my head. The guy who really wants the nomination is Richard Nixon. So I did a fold in where Rockefeller and goldwater are debating each other and when you fold it in there's Richard Nixon. It's the first one that was a real fold in. You didn't see Richard Nixon because his face turned out from two lamps that were on either side of the room. So it was a surprise. Well, that set the tone I figured for this thing to work. The second image cannot be seen in the first image and has to be a surprise. And I've done it now for about 450 times I guess and seems to work. I do the mold by hand. I don't use a computer when I pass on to that mad magazine in the sky. Someone will come in and continue it I guess using a computer. I used to take about seven or eight days. Now it takes me about two weeks from scratch to finish. One thing I can say is that it's been the most pleasurable location that I could ever imagine having. I'm not going to retire. They're going to have to suffer the ignominy of firing a 95-year-old man.
