Is there any website with a complete archive of [Jules Feiffer’s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Feiffer) cartoons? I can’t seem to find any such thing by Googling, and Feiffer’s own [website](http://www.julesfeiffer.com/) features only a small sampling from 1999 (I’m looking for one from the early '60s). ---

I think the best way to acquire as much of his work as possible would be to buy up lots of old copies of _Playboy_. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Starving Artist] I think the best way to acquire as much of his work as possible would be to buy up lots of old copies of _Playboy_. 😃 [/QUOTE] Oh, they’ve been published in collections, which I’ve occasionally checked out of the library. But I’m looking for something online and linkable. ---

If you have a specific cartoon in mind, I might have it in one of his early paperbound collections and could scan it. ---

[QUOTE=Musicat] If you have a specific cartoon in mind, I might have it in one of his early paperbound collections and could scan it. [/QUOTE] Two guys are talking in a cafe, enthusiastically agreeing with each other that “real democracy” is impossible when a country is “surrounded by enemies.” Then it turns out the one was talking about Cuba, the other about the United States. They look at each other in astonishment and simultaneously call the waiter for the check. ---

Is it a single-panel cartoon or a series? I can check (I’m not at the location where the books are right now), but I doubt that I have that one. ---

Several panels, but a stand-alone, not part of a series – the format he used to run in the _Village Voice._ (It probably **was** originally printed in the _Voice.)_ I recall it quite clearly from the big collection, [_Jules Feiffer’s America: From Eisenhower to Reagan._](http://www.amazon.com/Jules-Feiffers-America-Eisenhower-Reagan/dp/0394528468/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196448018&sr=8-1) ---

Sorry, **BrainGlutton,** I wasn’t able to find that cartoon in my collection. I thought I had several Feiffer books, but the only one I can put my hands on is _Sick, Sick, Sick_, which has copyright dates of 1956, 1957, and 1958. It’s not in there. Now Walt Kelly, that’s a different story… 🙂
