>>96146737I thought one of the most important parts of the story was how Vladek, who lived through the Holocaust and had to endure antisemitism throughout his entire life, is still a piece of shit racist who accuses a black hitchhiker of stealing his groceries. I like that Spiegalman doesn't sugar coat things, his dad was a legitimately resourceful, brilliant survivor but at his core he's just as hateful and prejudiced as the nazis. And Art, who grew up with wealthy parents and never had to endure anything like Vladek did, can't stop bitching about how hard his own unimportant life is. The greatest lesson we can take from this book is that people are all selfish garbage.
