In March of 2016, the Guinness Book of World Records certified that Allan "Al" Jaffee (born March 13, 1921) had the longest career as a professional comics artist. At the time of this recognition, it was 73 years and 3 month and it lasted, by my count, another three years and one month after that.
This would be impressive even if all that work was lousy but it was the precise opposite of that. It was skillful and funny and delightful…and if you ever got to meet Al, it was obvious why it was the way it was. Because all those adjectives described Al, too.
Have a great day, Al. Feel the love.
