Frank Jacobs
American writer (1929–2021)
Franklin Jacobs (May 30, 1929 – April 5, 2021[3][4]) was an American author of satires, known primarily for his work in Mad, to which he contributed from 1957 to 2014.
Jacobs wrote a wide variety of lampoons and spoof, but was best known as a versifier who contributed parodies of famous song lyrics and poems.[5] In 2009, Jacobs described himself as "the least-known writer of hysterical light verse in the United States."[6]
In 2021, musical parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic told the Washington Post, “I absolutely devoured every issue [of Mad], and Frank Jacobs was a big reason for that obsession.
I can’t swear that Frank’s work was my first-ever exposure to the art form of parody, but it was definitely the first time I had seen the craft approached with that much skill, wit and attention to detail. Frank laid out the template for me — he irrevocably changed my DNA.”[7]
