Feiffer often reflected in speeches and interviews on his role as a political satirist. He characterized his cartoons as “warning signals . . . saying, ‘This is where we’re headed. This is not us. We can do something about it. We can change.’” His “satirical form” of cartooning allowed him “to alert and force attention to things that weren’t getting nearly enough attention . . . The differences between rich and poor, racism, education.”
