MAD's Al Jaffee created new Fold-Ins for 57 years. He did his last one at age 99. But he never saw what his finished paintings looked like when folded until they were published. And they all worked. Jaffee didn’t design all of them inside his head just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

This week's New Yorker cover.

@allinwithchris.bsky.social The current issue of MAD Magazine (#45) has Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on its cover. There's also an article with RFK starring in a Frankenstein parody of the real-life monster movie that's he's creating. I am the writer (and a Hunter HS alumnus).

For J.K. Rowling's 60th birthday, I'm posting an excerpt from my "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows" MAD Magazine parody. It's where Rowling transforms two females (including Hermione) into transexual males. Wish I'd known then about her future transphobic smallness. Accio satiric retaliation!
