He was 102. His death was announced by Tom Heintjes, editor of Hogan’s Ally, a magazine and website that chronicles the cartoon arts.

Jaffee’s granddaughter Fani Thomson confirmed his passing and the cause of death to The New York Times. “I’m very sad to report that the great Al Jaffee has died,” Heintjes tweeted. “He had celebrated his 102nd birthday just last month.
