In 1954 he worked for the Kudner Agency as an assistant television director and provided storyboards for The Jackie Gleason Show, and followed that in 1956 working for Dancer, Fitzgerald and Sample Agency.[2] Around 1959, Saaf began working at a freelancer, stating "the pace was too fast, and I wanted time to think about what I was doing."[2] Into the 1960s he worked for numerous agencies providing many advertisements for products ranging from Post Cereal, Crest, Zest, Maxwell House, Life Savers and many others.[2]
In the 1970s, he worked for DC Comics illustrating romance stories until finally leaving comic books.[3] He drew Supergirl stories in the character's original solo series in 1972.[6] He continued drawing in other publishing fields and provided work for Highlights for Children magazine as well as various newspapers and other publications.[2]
