Jan 21 Remembering Jules Feiffer

Jules Feiffer has always been a hero of mine. I have always loved his work.

I go far enough back, having moved to Greenwich Village in the ’70s, to read Jules’ comic strip in The Village Voice every week. This strip, simply called “Feiffer,” started in 1956 and ran for forty years!

Fast-forward to ’90s. I was Art Director of two different publications where I was able to feature his work. By then, he was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Editorial Cartoonist.

I commissioned some works from him for our “LiveWire” front-of-book news department of Fortune Small Business magazine. It was one of the thrills of my lifetime to be in a position to work with him. Then, for a concurrent one-shot publication named Principal for a Day, I had the glorious opportunity to feature him in two articles and accompany him to the Bronx, where he spoke to wide-eyed kids in a classroom at the school he had attended as a child.

He is a permanent fixture in my memory, and his work is a testament to an extraordinary life, an extraordinary man.
