Paul Laikin
Paul I. Laikin (died May 12, 2012) was a prolific American comedy writer-editor for books, television, recordings, trading cards and magazines, including ''Mad'' and ''New York''. Satirist Jay Lynch commented, "He was an important figure in the world of whatever that is, that ''Mad'' magazine, post-World War II satire thing." Publisher Jim Warren called him "one of the funniest minds in the world."〔(Roach, David A. and Jon B. Cooke. ''The Warren Companion'', TwoMorrows, 2001. )〕
Born in Brooklyn, Laikin graduated in 1944 from James Madison High School. In 1945, he was drafted into the Army and sent to Germany, where he attained the rank of corporal while playing bugle calls for the troops. He was stationed at the former Dachau concentration camp (then a prison for Germans convicted of war crimes).〔Winslow, Olivia. "Comedy writer Paul Laikin dies at 84". ''Newsday'', May 14, 2012.〕
Returning home in 1947, he studied English at Columbia University and began writing for leading comedians, including Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Jan Murray, Ed Wynn and Alan King. In 1957, he started writing for ''Mad'' and later contributed to other humor magazines. He replaced Harvey Kurtzman as the editor of Jim Warren's ''Wildest Westerns'' magazine. For three years he was the editor of ''Cracked''.〔〔
