The Pulitzer-winning cartoonist and satirist attacked lies, weasel words and half-truths wherever he saw them. His time in the military was formative.

In his long-running Village Voice comic strip and in his many plays and screenplays, he took delight in skewering politics, relationships and human nature.

The Pulitzer Prize winner and Tony nominee started out with Will Eisner, and his work appeared in The Village Voice for decades.
