>>92831604
>Did he even think about this beforehand?

yes. he chose to depict jews as mice as a reference to nazi propaganda where jews were often depicted as rats/mice, as they wanted to depict jewish people as vermin that needs to be eradicated.

Did you even read the comic?

But he was a Jew himself.

>>92832258
The fact that you can't gasp his usage of irony is a testament to your own lack of development.
Art Spiegelman was not afraid of self-criticism, or criticism of his own culture.

His ability to create such art is testament to the obvious, that jewish people are human beings as much as anyone else is, that as is supported by their Old Testament, all men are truly created equal.

>it's a metaphor
Yeah, a metaphor that shows that the Nazis were correct in wanting to exterminate the Jews.

I suppose next you'll tell me pic related is a metaphor.

>>92831604
Cats also kill things for no reason other than to satiate their own boredom. It cuts both ways.

>>92833242
Not really, my favorite part of the book is that while he for show that Vladek was smart and resourceful, he also goes out of his way to show us that he was a huge asshole, besides being a racist.

Now that the memes have settled down. What do you guys think of Art Spiegelman's art?

>>92833743
Vladik is a lovable asshole but you can still sympathize with his family, i know even I would get tired of his shit

>>92832006
But mice/rats caused plagues and killed others creatures because of it. Basically he is saying yea rats destroy the lives of others but who cares, fuck cats.

>>92831604
>Poles are depicted as irredeemable swine, borderline more evil than Nazis, but uneducated and brutish

It's amazing how much (((they))) love their victim card. (((They))) effectively twisted all historical image of the co-victim to the co-perpetrator. In no small amount through popular culture and Hollywood.
Maus actually was one of the very first things that woke me to how bitterly hateful and deluded (((they))) are today. How viciously you're attacked if you dare even imply (((they))) weren't the nation that suffered most due to WWII. And this happened way before /pol/ even existed.
So yeah, thanks Spiegelman, and also fuck you.

I kinda like it for its expressiveness, in the same way I like Picasso's. Like his depiction of Guernica. If nothing else, you can see the emotion he's trying to convey.

>>92833912
Mice didn't spread the plague, and only a certain kind of flee that lived on a certain kind of rat did. Brown Rats don't carry it, neither do mice.

>>92833912
The reason why nazis are cats is because of the whole "cats hunting mouses" thing you would see on cartoons

And remember, he didn't portrayed the jews as heroes in the story, it was happening from Vladik's perspective who was also not a good person either, it was every man for himself

Aren't there several Poles in the book that are decent people and help Vladek out? The story had Poles who were both bad and good because part of the point was that just belonging to a certain ethnicity doesn't inherently make you good or evil.
