"In 1956, an unknown cartoonist by the name of Jules Feiffer started contributing a strip to the only alternative weekly published in America, a small radical newspaper called the Village Voice. For the next 44 years, Feiffer tackled just about every issue, public and private, that affected the sentient American: relationships, sexuality, love, family, neuroses, politicians, media, race, class, labor, religion, foreign policy, and war, to name a few. Explainers is the first of four volumes collecting Feiffer's entire run of over 2000 strips." -Fantagraphics
