Feiffer commentary: Craig Thompson is brilliant. He sent me Blankets, and I went nuts. I wrote him a fan letter. Blankets was, I thought, a masterpiece. Time magazine named Blankets its top graphic novel for 2003. Part of my praise for Blankets was used in its promotion. "[Thompson's] expert blending of words and pictures and resonant silences makes for a transcendent kind of story-telling that grabs you as you read it and stays with you after you put it down. I'd call that literature." I loved that he sent me this thank you note in a style that reminded me of Milt Gross, the author of perhaps the first graphic novel, He Done Her Wrong.
