Feiffer's Big Break
| Feiffer got his start as a professional cartoonist by working as an assistant to Will Eisner, the famous father of the classic cartoon The Spirit. Called "one of the most influential comic strips of all time" (Ken Tucker), The Spirit's somber, shadowy figures were an influence on Feiffer's later signature style.

by
J. D. Salinger
Feiffer recalled to The Hungry Mind Review that he was deeply moved by the scene in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield fell so in love with a book that he wanted to call the author in the middle of the night. Said Feiffer, "Everything I've ever done has been in the hope of becoming that author."
