Answer:

HERE I HAVE GIVEN ANSWERS IN DIFFERENT WAYS WHICH ONE IS EASY FOR YOU DO THAT

First and foremost, Art Spiegelman is an illustrator and cartoonist. In his early career, he worked in bubble gum cards, such as the Garbage Pale Kids. Maus is written as a graphic novel because that is Spielgelman’s medium. Additionally, it was the right medium for the story he was intent...

Priya Art Spiegelman pretty much expresses his feelings in the first page of the book Maus I, where he cries and goes to his father and the father responds by saying "Friends? A couple of days with them without food and you will know who are these friends" or something like that and its a very chilling start. It goes to show that the Holocaust has been such a horrible experience that it changes the very core of a person, very much seen in Art's father, - obsessive, untrusting miserly. These attributes directly affected Art Spiegelman's childhood and maybe he wanted to get to the core of why his father turned out to be that way personally. Also the death of his mom has got holocaust aftermath misery written all over it. All in all, it was such a touching and original work!
