Books, Arts & Manners: Feiffer at Sixty

“This is not a good time for me. Going from the greatest President a left-wing political cartoonist could have . . . the man who gave us Movie America . . . to the man who seems hell-bent on giving us country-club America. Will he turn me into a kinder, gentler cartoonist? And, therefore, an unemployed cartoonist? I lead a professional life the success of which is based on my being bitterly disappointed in everything.”

—Jules Feiffer at the 92nd Street Y,July 12, 1989
