ca. 1936. Drawing of character "the jolly boy, " later known as Alfred E. Neuman, with caption "Me Worry?" Copy photograph from the 1930s for Chauncey Griggs. MAD Magazine popularized the image, and named it, in the 1950s. When MAD was sued for copyright infringement concerning the image, one of the arguments that they used was that it had appeared on documents dating back to 1911. (Argentum)
