SIDELIGHTS: Abe Feldman told CA: "I've been a cartoonist much longer than I've been a writer, my work appearing for the most part in the alternative press starting in the mid-sixties. My words are only vehicles to capture the pictures that appear in my head. I came to television writing late in life and novel writing very late in my life, immediately before I turned fifty."
