I always loved the "fold-in" when I was a kid. I'd try to figure out what the folded-in image was before I actually folded it, and I was usually wrong.

He was definitely responsible for why you rarely could have a mint condition copy of Mad magazine. Those were hilarious. That, The Lighter Side of … and Spy vs Spy were some of my favorite things I’d look for first in an issue.
