Feiffer, Jules

Feiffer, Jules
(b. 1929)
   American writer and cartoonist. Feiffer grew up in New York and was educated at the Art Students’ League and the Pratt Institute. He is perhaps best known for his political cartoons which have appeared since the late 1950s, mainly in the Village Voice, the Observer and Playboy Magazine. His satire is an attack on the egotism, consumerism and hypocrisy of modern life, which, in one of his plays, he describes as a ‘wonderful story - the moral and ethical disintegration of the American Dream’.
   Feiffer has also written several plays, namely Little Murders (1967), The White House Murder Case (1970), Knock, Knock (1976) and Grown Ups (1981). He won an academy award for the animated cartoon Munro (1981) and the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.
