...wonder that you've turned inward," remarked the cartoonist, noting that today's youth has stood in the shadow of the more politically active generation of the '60s left to weather the aftermath of Vietnam and Watergate...
Jules Feiffer's America: From Reagan to Eisenhower, the cartoonist's belated 25th anniversary album, is valuable not only for Feiffer's witty, ironic insights but also for its telling social history. By mixing Bernard and Huey--and a host of other unnamed husbands, wives, lovers, and children--with Ike, Jack, Lyndon, Dick, Jerry, Jimmy, and Ronald, Feiffer's collection uniquely bridges the gap between the timeless New Yorker genre of cartoon and the dated, sharply topical political humor of a Herblock or an Oliphant. The combination effectively gives Feiffer's particular perspective on how one segment of the country...
Several major newspapers carried Feiffer daily thoughout his heyday in the 60s 70s.

Adding welcome bursts of mature wit to the rambunctious world of "Doonesbury," Davenport pursues Washington no-good-niks with persistence and good taste. After vigorously lecturing a mobster friend of Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan for making late-night death threats, she wonders aloud whether she has "hurt the poor man's feelings...
