Their is a reason behind Spiegelman's depiction of his Jewish characters as mice. Mice are viewed as animals that are intruders and need to be killed and also are easy to be killed. Although mice are easy to kill they sometimes are a nuisance to kill so they will not go down with out a fight. In the past I would take comic as a less serious form of literature but after reading Franz Kafka Metamorphisis in a comic book form I've developed this taste. This comic strip not only makes it easy to read and interpret but, it also makes it easier to re-read just incase you didn't catch the drift of what was trying to be presumed.

To add to this comparing to my definition of art. Art needs to be something that inspires you with that art is different to all. It is what drives you not what drives other. Art is recreation that needs to be enjoyed by the creator and even though he would like his peers the only person that matters in the whole ordeal is the creator himself.
