The New York Times has a selection of Al Jaffee’s fold-ins from MAD magazine right from the early days. You can click and drag with the mouse to fold them yourself.
I liked Don Martin’s cartoons the best. He had the best line in crazy words. From an obituary…
The cartoons had a vocabulary all their own. “SHKLIP” was the sound made when construction workers tossed concrete at each other. “SPLOP” described a surgeon throwing body parts into a doggie bag. “FAGROON” came from a collapsing skyscraper.
His license plate read “SHTOINK.”
