What me worry?

I forgot to point this out earlier in the week but there was an excellent article this past weekend on Al Jaffee who has been doing the Mad magazine fold-in's since 1964. This little fact is just crazy:
Mr. Jaffee does have a computer, but its main benefit, he said, has been to make the typographic tricks in the fold-in easier to create. He doesn’t draw with it, which leads to another surprise: the master of the fold-in never actually folds. “I’m working on a hard, flat board,” he said. “I cannot fold it. That’s why my planning has to be so correct.”
Fascinating article but more impressive in my opinion was the outstanding interactive feature that the website did showing off the fold-ins. Just outstanding.
