Cartoonist, novelist and playwright Jules Feiffer‘s Pulitzer-winning comic strip has been influencing and entertaining readers for decades. His internationally syndicated cartoon ran for 42 years in the Village Voice, weaving the social, political, and personal into a perceptive, challenging, often hilarious mix. Feiffer discusses his work, including the new book Explainers: The Complete Village Voice Strips 1956-1966, the first of four volumes collecting Feiffer’s entire run of weekly strips from the Village Voice.
