Go, Look: 95th Birthday Party For Al Jaffee

This recent event at Sardi's celebrating the great cartoonist Al Jaffee's 95th birthday looks like a lot of fun. Even the Guinness Book Of World Records showed up -- via a citation for the length and relentless nature of the cartoonist's career, not in judgment of the quality of the party.

One of the amazing things about our creators in their nineties is they help us reflect on the length of time the comics industry has been around -- in most senses, a length of time less than the age of those people. They're also a window into the professional worlds in which they thrived that are direct and occasionally clear.

More importantly in Jaffee's case, he's had a distinguished career in addition to a lengthy one, and any opportunity to celebrate his accomplishments should be embraced.
