Jules Feiffer

Jules Ralph Feiffer (born January 26, 1929) is an award-winning American syndicated cartoonist and author, who was considered the most widely read satirist in the country. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986 as America's leading editorial cartoonist, and in 2004 he was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame. He wrote the animated short, Munro, which won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1961. 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.

When Feiffer was 17, he became assistant to cartoonist Will Eisner in the mid-1940s, where he helped Eisner write and illustrate his comic strips, including "The Spirit". He then became a staff cartoonist at The Village Voice beginning in 1956, where he produced the weekly comic strip titled Feiffer, until 1997. His cartoons became nationally syndicated in 1959 and then appeared regularly in publications including 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.

Famous quotes by Jules Feiffer:

"Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid."

"I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy. I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged.) Then they told me that underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary."

"Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence"

"Jesus died to forgive our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?"

"At sixteen I was stupid, confused and indecisive. At twenty-five I was wise, self-confident, prepossessing and assertive. At forty-five I am stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive. Who would have supposed that maturity is only a short break in adolescence?"

"I grew up to have my father's looks- my father's speech patterns-my father's posture- my father's opinions and my mother's contempt for my father"

"Maturity is only a short break in adolescence."

"Good swiping is an art in itself"

"At 16 I was stupid, confused, . . . and indecisive. At 21 I was wise, self-confident, . . . and assertive. At 45 I'm stupid, confused, . . . and indecisive. [Is] maturity only a short break in adolescence?"

"The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten."

"Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence."
