Jules Feiffer (born January 26, 1929 in New York) is a renowned illustrator, cartoonist, screenwriter, and American author. His career began in the 1940s as an assistant to Will Eisner on the comic series The Spirit, where he developed his narrative and graphic skills. However, Feiffer gained international fame with his satirical comic strip Feiffer, first published in The Village Voice in 1956.
