Palm Beach Illustrated

Cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter and children’s’ book author and illustrator, Jules Feiffer has had a remarkable career turning contemporary urban anxiety into witty and revealing commentary. From his Village Voice editorial cartoons to his plays and screenplays including Little Murders and Carnal Knowledge, he has defined us politically, sexually and socially. He is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and George Polk Award for his cartoons, an Obie for his plays and an Academy Award for his film animation. His latest memoir, "Backing Into Forward," relates how persistent failure inspired him to reinvent himself as an artist over and over. His latest children's story, "The Man in the Ceiling," will be Disney's next Broadway musical.
