Maus

I think its interesting that the author starts his story with the use of a hitler quote "Jews are undoubtedly a race but they're not human" and proceeds to draw the Jews in this story as anthropomorphic mice.In the first sequence is about Artie crying that his friends left him behind skating. Artie's father Vladek says you'll find who your real friends are when you and them are tied to a tree with nothing to eat.

I think because the Polish were called pigs. the art style is woodcut like and transitions of the comics are.

I like format of how it goes from the artist and his father talking about the story of the Nazis and the holocaust to back to their current.I find the personality of the father to be humorous to balance out the seriousness of the holocaust.there also seems to be some sort of behavioral pattern that the artist draws to about his father.he'll go from throwing out Artie's coat and replacing it to picking up wires on the street,and not wanting Mala in his will.I think that's something he picked up from being on run from the Nazis with his wife and having scavenge for shelter and food and having to always pay the Nazis. But this is the down folly to him too.

throughout the book Artie is looking for his mother's diary after her suicide only to find out at the end that his father burned soon after. Artie even calls him out in the end and says he's a murder for burning her diary.
the next story begin with Artie receiving a phone call only to find out that Mala had ran off his fathers money. it was revealed that Artie's father was made a Kapo.
