Larry's Cartoon Vault: Things Don't Change Much

 Another in the ongoing series of cartoons from days of yore that prove to remain relevant today.

It's still true you want to be careful monkeying around with Tariffs

Jules Feiffer (January 26, 1929—January 17, 2025 )

Sometime ago, I was assessing the comic art landscape for pre-baby boomer cartoonist icons and came to the conclusion that Jules Feiffer was pretty much last man standing. 

That’s no longer the case. 

From the archives, here are some works I find especially memorable by the incomparable Jules Feiffer:

There was a time when this was one of the very few books available on the subject of comic art history.

Oh yea, the New Year.......

Larry's Retirement Part 3

With encouragement from fellow staff members my retirement party from the San Geronimo Valley Community Center also became my solo art reception. One of my primary duties at the Center was the role of Visual Arts Coordinator. I put on hundreds of art shows but always felt with all the artists waiting their turn it would be inappropriate to take a slot for myself.  It would be my last art hanging at the Center and it was suggested the title should be "Larry Hangs it Up".

What evolved was a sort of broad retrospective that included my youthful cartooning days and my relatively more recent printmaking.

The retirement party was a wonderful gratifying event.

And I really enjoyed. seeing my decades old comic art 

    

Here's my attempt at a video tour of the exhibit:
