*1935 US
Nick Meglin, born in 1935, was a member of the Mad editorial staff for 48 years. His progress can be observed by studying the magazine's masthead, which moved him from "Ideas" to "War Correspondent" (during an army stint) to "Editorial Associate" to "Associate Editor" to "Editor," a position which he held for 20 years. After retiring from that job in 2004, Meglin was listed as a Contributing Editor.
