FEIFFER FRACAS

Jack Grimshaw wants you to dump Feiffer (Letters, March 8). I always turn first to the last page of Calendar, read Feiffer and clip the cartoon to post at work. Put me down as strongly pro-Feiffer. Isn’t diversity wonderful?

I agree with Grimshaw. I too would like to see an expansion of the Letters page so we’d be able to read more funny laugh-out-loud-opinions like mine.

I think I speak for many in saying that I love Feiffer’s strip and look forward to it each Sunday. He has a keen sense of timing, irony and relevance. His visual and humorous commentary on social issues stimulates my thinking and gives me pause to reflect on the larger issues.

For my money, I’d prefer a whole page of good, stimulating cartoons to letters from disgruntled readers with selfish and negative attitudes.

I second Grimshaw’s motion. Cancel Feiffer! He’s a bore.

I always read Feiffer’s cartoon first and then delve into the crossword. I would miss it very much, as I have grown up reading his slant on our society’s relationships as a whole, whether it be with politics, family or the changing seasons, to name a few.

Any reader who is adult enough to appreciate relationships would appreciate Feiffer’s cartoons. Please don’t ever stop printing them. I would miss dancing to the rites of spring!

A spelling note to Jack Grimshaw. When using the word to describe the humor of Feiffer and the New Yorker cartoons, you’ve got the “soph” right but it does not end with “omoric”--it ends with “isticated.”

Sometimes it’s hard to read by the light out next to the cee-ment pond.
