In '82, after #Sixers had 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, #Celtics won Games 5 & 6, & someone asked @phillysport columnist Bill Lyon why he was bothering going to Boston for Game 7.

Sixers won.
Really impossible to overstate importance of @MADmagazine to postwar America's creative sensibilities, especially the ability to deeply love something while joking abt it, to be dark and optimistic at the same time, to be kind and sardonic, is everything. RIP AL Jaffee
