Jules Feiffer has been drawing and writing for a living since he was 17 years old. Now 95, the illustrator behind
The Phantom Tollbooth is out with his first graphic novel for middle grade readers. That book,
Amazing Grapes, kicks off with a father's departure, which sets in motion a series of adventures across dimensions for his three children. A two-headed swan serves as the master of ceremonies for the story. In today's episode, Feiffer speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about how play has become more central to the author's life as he's grown older and about his writing process, which involves a lot of scribbling.
