The Explainers

Jules Feiffer’s The Explainers is a single-issue comic strip collection from 1960, published by McGraw-Hill, that compiles his witty, satirical observations on modern life and communication. Feiffer’s distinctive, neurotic linework and sharp dialogue define this slim volume, which captures the anxieties and absurdities of mid-century America. As a snapshot of Feiffer’s early, influential voice in cartooning, it remains a concise, essential artifact of the era’s social commentary.
