Damn. Lance Reddick, probably best known for playing LT. Cedric Daniels on HBO's The Wire.

He was only 60.
 
Dr. George Nagobads. Gopher hockey’s physician from 1958-1992. Was Team USA’s physician for five Olympics, including 1980. Played by Kenneth Welsh in Miracle.

101 years old.
 
Mad magazine's Al Jaffee. He created the back cover fold-in that the magazine was famous for. Was 102 years old, only retired three years ago.

Seriously, the man had to be some level of spatial/visual genius to work through art like that. I can barely draw a smiley face let alone create a single piece of art that can then hold another image within it. And then reproduce that effect monthly for however many years.

I’m curious now when such a concept was first invented.

I believe there are triptychs which when you fold them up match up to some other image, so maybe 1000 years?

Wasn't he the MAD artist who drew the perfect little dog turds? And when someone complained about it being gross they were instead described as little sausages and he would sort of link them together? I'm thinking that was Al Jaffee.

I never heard that story but it tracks with everything about MAD. That whole staff are childhood heroes of mine. Hilarious and subversive and a fine nose for institutional bullsh-t.

God what they would do with internet culture now.
 
When mookie was 10-11-13-13 yo he bought him all the mad and cracked all he could get. Had grandma drive him to the newsstand and bought em up :-)
 
My daughter's cat. I hope whichever Republican ran it over and didn't stop skids through an intersection on its intestines and dies in a fireball.

Slowly.
