For decades, virtually every issue of Mad featured new material by Jaffee. His collected "Fold-Ins" filled a four-volume box set published in 2011.

A contributor to Mad Magazine since 1955, Jaffee was known as the creator of the 'Fold-In.' His style of artwork — clean lines with a flair for the bizarre, off-beat and grotesque — became synonymous with the magazine.
