In March 1957, Jules Feiffer (b. 1929) published the first cartoon in a series that continued periodically throughout his career of a modern dancer celebrating the arrival of a new season or year. The cartoons commented wryly or caustically on changing times. At the end of 1991, Feiffer’s dancer graphically expressed the bewilderment of a time in which cold war verities had vanished in “a dance to utter confusion.”
