It''s not under the bed, or on the chair, or beneath the couch, or behind the curtains. It''s GONE! What do you do when your favorite toy disappears, and you can''t find it where you left it? What if your family is NO help at all? A determined little detective heads up the search, and discovers more than she ever expected! 00-01 Young Reader''s Choice Award Program Masterlist

“Raymond, I want you!” Just when Raymond is in the middle of a comic book, his mother calls him. Not once but five times. “It''s not fair!” Raymond thinks. Then he thinks: “What if I had my own MEANWHILE...?” Comic books always use MEANWHILE... to change the scene. So Raymond tries writing it on the wall behind his bed. To his astonishment, Raymond discovers that he can MEANWHILE...from one perilous adventure to another''from pirates on the high seas, to Martians in outer space, to a posse and a mountain lion out West. Then, at the worst possible moment, Raymond''s MEANWHILE... fails him, leaving him in a spot that spells certain doom! Unless . . .

‘Prince Roger sets out eagerly on a quest and finds a few adventures, a lot of friends, a damsel or two in distress (not!) and himself, in the end. A ‘carrier of joy’ whose mere presence causes everyone to laugh uncontrollably, Roger finds cruelty and kindness equally amusing, and expects his quest to be a lark. It’s anything but: As Roger passes through the Forever Forest, nearly starves at the Dastardly Divide, sees people at their worst in the Valley of Vengeance, and temporarily despairs in the Mountains of Malice, he sobers up, learns to care for others, becomes an expert peacemaker, does Good Deeds, and falls in love with Lady Sadie, who says what she thinks as she repeatedly saves his bacon.’—K. ‘Feiffer’s worldly-wise, confiding tone and sense of the absurd are highly congenial, and the drawings are a vintage Feiffer delight.’—Publishers Weekly. 100 Books for Reading and Sharing 1995 (NY Public Library)

The story of a boy cartoonist who dreams of becoming a professional artist.

"Two friends from the ''60s-- one a supreme makeout artist, the other a non-starter-- encounter each other again after 25 years and find that there''s been an amazing role reversal. Or maybe not"--Issue contents.

A collection from the humorists cartoon strips which satirize Greenwich Village types and their world

Elliot is a bachelor in his late thirties whose new girlfriend, Joanna, is everything he ever wanted in a woman--intelligent, beautiful, warm, independent--and yet terrifies him for precisely that reason. A twice-divorced real estate broker who likes order in her life, she is equally scared of the precariousness of having someone matter to her. Their uncertainties come to a head when Elliot takes her to a party to meet ''the guys''--Bobby, who works for Playboy; Phil, a recovering alcoholic; and Larry, who ''is not comfortable with a woman outside the confines of a divorce court.'' The encounter becomes an initiation ceremony crackling with witty, barbed, and devastating dialogue that strips the two lovers of all pretensions, forcing them to confront each other anew in a painful awareness of their vulnerability. The result is a bitterly funny play about the ambiguities of being in love, with Jules Feiffer at his most incisive, wise, and wickedly honest.

"[Munro is] one of Feiffer''s great successes... reason enough to [buy] this album." Booklist"

In 1956, an unknown cartoonist named Jules Feiffer began drawing a weekly comic strip called Sick, Sick, Sick free of charge for a then-obscure weekly newspaper called the Village Voice. Within two years, Feiffer had become one of the most popular satirists of the period, appearing in several major newspapers in the U.S. and Great Britain, and with a best-selling book under his belt. Feiffer: The Collected Works Vol. 3 contains the first two scintillating years of this strip (later re-dubbed simply Feiffer), shot mostly from the original art. But that''s not all! This volume also includes "Boom," Feiffer''s savage take on H-bomb testing, government duplicity, and public apathy. "The Deluge" takes a modern everyman, Harvey Noah, and gives him the daunting task of warning the world of impending flood by going through proper bureaucratic channels. "Kept" is the story of a small, ugly man who discovers the awful secret of successful seduction. In "Harold Swerg," the title character is the greatest athlete in the world; he upsets the nation when he refuses to win the Olympics because there''s no challenge in it. As a special bonus this book includes "Rollie," a never-before-printed 10-page story from that period, about a bass player whose playing sends everyone who hears it into orbit. This story, which languished in Feiffer''s files for close to four decades, is a great lost treasure, and absolutely critical to any Feiffer fan!

Includes 2 photocopies of typescript with manuscript notes, and photocopied reviews and articles from the 1984-1985 London production.

Cartoonist, screenwriter and playwright Jules Feiffer''s long out-of-print classic, "Tantrum", returns in this Fantagraphic edition, featuring new covers by Feiffer and an introduction by acclaimed Sandman creator Neil Gaiman. The story of suburban disenchantment, "Tantrum" is the story of respectable and responsible businessman, Leo Quog, who, in the throes of a mid-life crisis, willfully regresses to the age of two. Having been two before, Leo demands his rights as a toddler: cuddling, cooing, tummy rubbing, and, most importantly, piggyback rides. In Leo''s case, youth is definitely not wasted on the young. Feiffer has the uncanny ability to capture the frustrations of everyday life, while showing the lengths we''ll go to escape from it.

Roger Ackroyd, a young private detective, finds himself involved in the tangled affairs of Annabelle, a beautiful & hysterical lady married to (and separated from) "Rags, an aspiring novelist.

Carey McWilliams was The Nation''s editor between 1955 and 1975, carrying forward the tradition of great Nation editors such as Oswald Garrision Villard, Freda Kirchwey and others. In the fall of 1978 in New York City, several hundred of his closest friends and greatest admirers assembled to honor Carey McWilliams and the occasion provoked some comments by the cartoonist and social critic Jules Feiffer. With his usual few deft strokes, Feiffer managed to capture in words a man, a tradition and a spirit, a spirit that continues to animate The Nation.

In a cabin in the woods, two bickering old Jewish recluses, Abe and Cohn, have retired, and haven''t moved in two decades. Abe is a former stockbroker, and Cohn is an unemployed musician. In fact Abe and Cohn represent one character, that has been split into two opposing sides of the same spirit: Cohn is the realist, who believing only in empirical reality, Abe is the romantic. Miraculous events begin to happen. When Cohn wishes for a new roommate, his wish is promptly granted by the arrival of a mad magus named Wiseman. This leads to another visitor who is none other than Joan of Arc, accompanied by her "Voices". Though her arrival is at first greeted by a shotgun blast, Abe and Cohn are eventually charmed by the saint, and she gets them to reconsider many of their preconceived ideas to such an extent that Abe and Cohn eventually switch positions: Abe becomes the skeptical realist and Cohn becomes the true believer. She calls Abe and Cohn to join her in a space ship on a pilgrimage to Heaven -- before the coming holocaust. Cohn is willing to go along, but Abe refuses, so Joan remains and sets up housekeeping in the cabin. When Joan accidentally cuts her finger in the kitchen, she faints and dies, which gets her to heaven without the space ship. Abe and Cohn are left behind to argue with Joan''s spiritual Voices.
