Passed along books are great. <\/p>\n

That’s how we ended up with dog-eared copies of Jules Feiffer’s<\/a> first books, collections of his beat era comic strips for The Village Voice.<\/a><\/em> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Feiffer did his weekly loose, sketchy strip for 42 years – eventually canceling it when he felt the audience just wasn’t there anymore. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

‘you can practically smell the espresso, the unfiltered ciggies, the lanolin whiff of woolly jumpers.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Feiffer’s social commentary, dark humor and neurotic characters – with NYC undertones – predated Seinfeld<\/em> by years.<\/p>\n

A new edition captures the early days.<\/a> And a memoir is also available.<\/a><\/p>\n
