I disliked his artistic style almost as much as I disliked his politics.

Eisner would know.

anyone who would publish innovative work in the conformist mid-'50s

I am so sick of seeing that expression, especially by those who are comfortable with DEI/Woke enforcement. The '50s were less "conformist" than the '40s and '30s. The non-conformism of the 20s were largely reserved to the upper and academic classes.

Never heard of him, but the article is such literary fellatio, that this had to be a hardcore left cartoonist.

Gosh, I haven’t thought about him in a long time. Rest in peace.

I recall seeing his work for several years in the local papers. Sunday sections in both the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press carried his editorial comics or media reviews. Feiffer was popular with printed media not just because most of his work was clever, but because his panels were usually done in high contrast black line grey mass and white negative spaces. In other words,they printed easy and told their story in a quick, graphic manner.

I’m not in touch with the New York theater crowd or those who the the Village Voice means anything to mid-America. Thus I may never have come in contact with his “work”.

Thanks to FR I at least know he has passed on.

Without samples of his work I don’t know if I’ve ever seen any of his work.

I remember him quite well in the 1970s, but I haven’t thought about him in 40 years or more, and had no idea he was still alive.

Never cared for his cartoons. When I watched the movie POPEYE(1980) I noticed he wrote the script. I said “Aw C*ap! This is not going to be worth watching!” It turned out to be one of those rare movies you wish you could get two hours of your life back after watching.
Even my Brother-in-law hated it and he will watch anything!
