Why Do You Think Artie Spiegelman Draws The Characters Of His Book As Mice, Cats, Pigs, Etcs?

There are only three reproductions in Maus: the photograph of Artie and Anja in "Prisoner on the Hell Planet"; the portrait of Richieu that appears on the dedication page of the volume's second volume; and the souvenir photograph of Vladek wearing a concentration campsite uniform, which he sends Anja to announce his impending return to Sosnowiec after the state of war. Though his parents and brother are difficult characters for Artie to grasp — he maintains difficult, conflicted relationships with each of them, even afterward their deaths — his comics offer a mode to make sense of their presence in his life, and to develop intimate, emotional connections with them even when truthful understand continues to elude him. While other relatives must e'er remain legendary or fictional on the almost intimate level, his firsthand family becomes "existent" to Artie equally he studies and shares their story.
