Hi
The graphic novel format is the perfect medium for Spiegelman talent. Spiegelman's use of mice to portray the Jews is a play off the Nazis considering them vermin. Spiegelman isn’t making fun of anyone here, he is attempting to use ethnic stereotypes to break down the allegory that some people feel or felt was true. He was using these stereotypes as a platform to show people how Jews were oppressed. He uses cats to portray the Nazis which convey effective imagery for the narrative.
