Jules Feiffer, Satirical Cartoonist, Dead at 95
The Pulitzer Prize winner was known for his eponymous cartoon, his Popeye screenplay, and for illustrating The Phantom Tollbooth.
A Pulitzer Prize winner, Feiffer’s work satirized postwar anxieties among the neurotic New York set. “With his obsession with politics and psychology, his wry wit and stylized drawings, he’s the link from Lenny Bruce to Larry David, from Walt Kelly and James Thurber to Garry Trudeau and Art Spiegelman,” Michiko Kakutani wrote in 2010. In her review of the book, Kakutani called both the memoir and Feiffer himself “funny, acerbic, subversive, fiercely attuned to the absurdities in his own life and in the country at large.”
