Quite the day for birthdays. Big names from my childhood and child-like Adulthood, are Al Jaffee who gave me the will to fold my Mad magazine carefully to see his fold-out joke, Tessie O'shea who made me wonder why there was a flying bed in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, William H. Macy who made me think I could also be a superhero since I own a shovel and numerous other gardening tools, although I think "The Hoe-er" sounds to much like a porn nickname, Dana Delany who brought me the voice of Lois Lane over the past 14 years, and finally Beetle Bailey who left college and made a career of doing nothing in the Army.
There's lots more to read below so enjoy.

He began his career in 1941, working as a comic-book artist for several publications, including Timely Comics and Atlas Comics. Jaffee created several humor features for Timely, including "Inferior Man" and "Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal". For approximately a year and a half in the late 1940s, Al Jaffee was editing Timely's humor and teenage comics, including the "Patsy Walker" line. From 1957-1963, Jaffee drew the elongated Tall Tales panel for the New York Herald Tribune, which was syndicated to over 100 newspapers. Jaffee also scripted the short-lived strips Debbie Deere and Jason in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Only one issue of Mad has been published since 1964 without containing new material by Jaffee. As of 2010, Jaffee continues to do the Fold-In for Mad, as well as creating specially commissioned artwork.
