A GIANT RETROSPECTIVE COLLECTION FROM ONE OF OUR FUNNIEST-AND MOST PROFOUND-CONTEMPORARY HUMORISTSFor a quarter of a century, Jules Feiffer’s characters have been yanking us, kicking and screaming with laughter, through the political, moral and emotional vagaries of our time. Now he has brought together the most and the best of his work ever to appear in a single volume-more than twenty-five years of the mating games and un-mating games, the trends and traumas, the sense and nonsense of American life, as only he could have interpreted them with his remorselessly satiric and scathingly intelligent eye, ear and pen.Grouped by presidencies, the cartoons begin with ‘The Ike Age" and carry us all the way up to (but, alas, not out of) Reagan's "Movie America,” with all the presidential stops along the way—"The Sundance Kid,” "Here Lies Lyndon," "Vietnixon,” "Happy Hooligan" and "Jimmy the Cloud." And, accompanying the hundreds of cartoons, an introduction and running commentary by the artist-about himself, his art and his America. Here, like it or not, is the demented story of our own quarter of the twentieth century. At least we can still laugh....Jules Feiffer writes novels and screenplays and is a syndicated cartoonist whose column appears in The Village Voice and other papers throughout the country. He is the author of the plays Little Murders; Knock, Knock; Grown Ups and A Think Piece, and of the screenplays for Carnal Knowledge and Popeye.
