A Comic Editing Genius Has Died

   You might not know the name Al Feldstein, but you have seen his handiwork. He was for years the editor of MAD Magazine, a publication that lampooned, and continues to do so, political leaders, movies and just about everything under the sun.
   He was the editor starting in 1956, and helped assemble the team of writers and artists who made MAD great.
   I used to wait for the newest issue to come out every month growing up, and one of the first things I did was flip to the back cover to fold that puzzle over and see what I got.
   And, there were the usual standards as well. "Spy vs Spy", and "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions." among them.
   A lot of people say it shaped the generation of comedy from 1955 to '75, and Feldstein was at the heart of it all.
   He died at his Montana home last night at 88.
   R.I.P, Mr Feldstein. Thanks for the many memories and laughs.
