Vintage Photograph from 1936 Shows Mad Magazine's Al Jaffee and Will Elder Goofing Off in a NYC High School

Mad Magazine artists Al Jaffee and Will Elder, in the lunchroom at the High School for Music and Arts in New York City, 1936

This great vintage photograph shows two teenagers goofing off in the cafeteria of High School of Music & Art in Harlem back in 1936. These teenagers, All Jaffee and Will Elder, would later go on to create Mad Magazine in Midtown (previously). It's not hard to see why.
