Feiffer’s distorted perspectives on the things that “loom large” capture a range of human emotion with his usual deftness. Kids will commiserate with the saucer-eyed boy as he skates out of control, is afraid he won’t be picked for either team, or gets stuck high in a tree. And maybe things won’t be so scary next time.
