Jules Feiffer, a beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer, passed away at the age of 95 at his home in Richfield Springs, New York. His wife, JZ Holden, confirmed that he died of congestive heart failure, surrounded by friends, their two cats, and his recent artwork. Feiffer was known for his sharp wit and keen observations of societal issues, from childhood curiosity to urban angst.

Born in the Bronx in 1929, Feiffer had a lifelong passion for drawing. He attended the Pratt Institute and worked for comic book creator Will Eisner before launching his own comic strip, “Clifford.” After serving in the Army, Feiffer found a home for his work at The Village Voice, where his strip “Feiffer” ran for over 40 years. His feisty liberal sensibilities and satirical style made him a fixture in New York’s cultural scene.

Feiffer’s talents extended beyond cartooning. He wrote plays, screenplays, and children’s books, winning accolades for his versatility and ability to tackle complex social issues. His play “Little Murders” won an Obie Award, and his screenplay for “Carnal Knowledge” earned critical acclaim. Feiffer’s transition to children’s literature was inspired by a desire to bring good news to the next generation, leading to books like “The Man in the Ceiling” and “Amazing Grapes.”

In addition to his creative pursuits, Feiffer painted watercolors, taught humor-writing courses, and continued to engage with audiences through various projects. His last book, “Amazing Grapes,” was published just months before his passing and showcased his enduring creativity and passion for storytelling.

Feiffer’s legacy will live on through his timeless work, which continues to entertain, inspire, and provoke thought. His unique blend of humor and insight has left an indelible mark on the worlds of art, literature, and culture. As Feiffer once said, his goal was to make people think, feel, and smile, and his remarkable body of work has achieved that and more.
