FEIFFER

Regarding Jules Feiffer’s cartoon last Sunday:

Perhaps Feiffer has now become the victim of the media’s long-standing love affair with his brand of humor.

“Brash, oafish and ignorant” are words that aptly describe his stereotyping of Jewish men. Maybe it’s time he put away his markers--they’re running out of ink.

If Feiffer’s cartoon was intended to be funny, I, as a Jew, was not amused! If there is anything the Jewish people don’t need, it’s another ignorant, deprecating portrayal of us.

Feiffer owes the Jews a public apology, and so do the editors of The Times, who allowed this cartoon to be published. This was doubly insulting, appearing during Passover.
