FEIFFER THE COLLECTED WORKS Volume One

Jules Feiffer’s national fame came in the 1950s when his satirical strips about New York’s middle classes struck a chord. His beginnings, however, were as an assistant in Will Eisner’s studio, starting in 1946 working on basic tasks for the eight-page Spirit section Eisner produced for Sunday newspaper circulation. He began contributing stories for the main feature, and in 1949 was given his own one-page comedy strip.

Clifford (Volume 1) was a gag feature featuring a likable young boy with an active imagination pre-dating Dennis the Menace, running riot for eighteen months until Feiffer was drafted for army duty. Clifford and his pal Seymour have things in common with Dennis, being generally good-hearted kids exploring the world around them with often unfortunate consequences for any adults in the vicinity.
