Jules Feiffer is an American cartoonist, and is considered the most widely read satirist in the country. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986 as America's leading editorial cartoonist.
One of his most widely read and popular series was the weekly satirical comic strip, “Feiffer” in the Village Voice from 1956-1997.
His cartoons became nationally syndicated in 1959 appearing regularly in the Los Angeles Times, the London Observer, The New Yorker, Playboy, Esquire, and The Nation. In 1997 he created the first op-ed page comic strip for the New York Times, which ran monthly until 2000, and in 2004 he was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame.
The Library of Congress has recognized his "remarkable legacy", from 1946 to the present, as a cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter, adult and children's book author, illustrator, and art instructor.
Feiffer has written more than 35 books, plays and screenplays. His sensibility permeates a wide range of creative work, from his Obie-winning play Little Murders, to his screenplay for Carnal Knowledge, to his Oscar-winning anti-military short subject animation Munro. Retrospectives of his cartoons and drawings have been mounted at the New York Historical Society, The School of Visual Arts, and the Library of Congress. Kill My Mother, the first of a trilogy of noir graphic novels won the Best Graphic Novel Award from the National Cartoonist Society.
He currently resides and works in Shelter Island, NY.
