I consider myself fortunate to have been following David Peterson’s work since the first #MouseGuard, but that doesn’t make me any less in awe when I see his new projects.

If you'd have told me in 2015 that ROLLING STONE would have the most brutally honest news coverage of the 2025 inauguration, I never would've believed you. But here we are.

When I was reading “Backing into Forward” 12 years ago, I emailed him at the encouragement of a mentor. He responded and we had several exchanges. Sometimes, when we slow down enough the universe gives us very cool gifts like that. #julesfeiffer
Incredibly sad to see the passing of Jules Feiffer one of greatest to ever do it. From ghosting golden age Eisner to redefining comic strips to the best children’s books of all time. Tabled at a con next to him once. Never been so intimidated to just say hi to the guy sitting next to me. A genius.
A quick Feiffer primer: his incredible autobiography (Backing Into Forward), Jules Feiffer's America (strips from over the years), Munro, and the film Carnal Knowledge.

What a life.

Jules Feiffer was a scholar, a writer and a cartoonist. You can't get a better start than as assistant to Will Eisner and Feiffer became a force in satire and sequential art. For me, his book "The Great Comic Book Heroes" remains a holy text.

RIP.

Woke to the sad news we've lost Jules Feiffer just a few days before his 96th birthday. I can think of no better way to honor his passing than by sharing this cartoon from half a century ago which described a different president, who I thought back then was the worst we'd ever see. I was wrong. RIP

RIP Jules Feiffer: Cartoonist, writer, screenwriter, historian... renaissance man. As a kid, I must've checked this book out of the library like 500 times.

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.
