Nation Kuper-Feiffer Interview and Illustrated Feiffer Profile
Skip to comments
Feiffer: Well, when I was young, it didn’t much matter what I thought, because I was scared of my shadow, and I wouldn’t have done anything about anything.
Kuper: Which brings me back to my question. You came from that, and then you end up in a profession that is the most extreme example of shaking the cage.
Feiffer: Well, because shaking the cage is what I found myself drifting into doing, and finding I had no choice but to do that because I was living in a country that scared the shit out of me in terms of the direction it was going. And if you ask me how I changed the country, well, today I find myself living in a country where I’m scared shitless because of the direction in which we’re going.
Also at The Nation is an amended illustrated profile of Jules Feiffer by Peter Kuper.
Amended?
Yep.
Nine years ago cartoonist Peter Kuper paid tribute to Jules Feiffer with an illustrated profile for the Observer’s December 2015 mentor issue (above left); for The Nation’s January 2025 issue Peter revised the profile (above right) due to 95 year old Jules’ still active career.
