1. It breaks up the flow of the comic 
2. Reframes the relationship between Art and his father \
3. It reminds the reader that the characters are not actually mice and that these are real people and not an artistic interpretation or a work of fiction about the Holocaust]]> 2022-09-27 14:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dkh5371/fmzch7zszypm492l/wish/2315757563 dkh5371 https://padlet.com/dkh5371/fmzch7zszypm492l/wish/2315759961 Chapter 1 and 2, Vol 2
1. Both are much more personal with Art and his dad
2. Both address that the characters are not really mice or animals
3. Deals with survivors guilt and the long term effects of the Holocaust ]]> 2022-09-27 14:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dkh5371/fmzch7zszypm492l/wish/2315759961 jfz5455 https://padlet.com/dkh5371/fmzch7zszypm492l/wish/2315777542 In this panel, Art is describing how he felt after his mother's death. The second image features "screaming thoughts" and pictures Art as a young boy. Spiegelman does this to create the internal argument between innocence and guilt supported by the child wearing the prisoner's uniform. Anja's wrist is pictured being cut by another holocaust survivor's hand, hinting at the idea that Anja struggled with survivor's guilt.

In the panel he says that his mother committed suicide and left no note and now he himself is depressed. This could mean that he is beginning to understand his mother more and feels similar now to how she felt. Art has also had a lot of success in his career thanks to this book, so he may be feeling guilty that he is making this success from tragedy that is not directly his. He sits at his writing chair over a pile of death while talking about all the offers and success he's had, but he is depressed.]]> 2022-09-27 15:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dkh5371/fmzch7zszypm492l/wish/2315781299 jfz5455 https://padlet.com/dkh5371/fmzch7zszypm492l/wish/2315839446 https://drawnandquarterly.com/press/art-spiegelman-talks-his-career-metro-news/

In this interview, Art talks about writing the "Funny Animals" and "Prisoner on the Hell Planet" comics before actually beginning to write Maus. Art specifically states that his writing "Prisoner on the Hell Planet" brought back a ton of suppressed memories of his mother's suicide. "Prisoner on the Hell Planet" was the ultimate inspiration for Maus. Art also says that he just wrote down ideas as they came to him, and after ten years Maus was written.
