What were your thoughts on the comic within the comic, Art's reaction to his mother's suicide? The comic depicts his mother's suicide and his father's reaction. Art is wearing a concentration camp uniform throughout. In the last panels, Art is shown in prison, and he says, "Well, Mom, if you're listening ... Congratulations! You've committed the perfect crime ... You put me here ... shorted all my circuits ... cut my nerve endings ... and crossed my wires! You murdered me, Mommy, and you left me here to take the rap!!!"
I found this rather disturbing. What was your reaction?

That was terribly disturbing, yeah. And it seemed to be on a plane so personal that it's hard to know how to relate to it. I'll have to look at that part again.
It really seemed to express an anger that Spiegelman must have felt, a frustration that his parents were so fucked up by the horrors in their past.
this book is too sad and the maus too
