Despite Marji being critical of her parents political philosophies and the fact that they can be overbearing at times, they clearly want to look out for her in the end by sending her to Vienna #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

It was interesting reading the perspective of Marji, a girl growing up in an upper middle class home in a country with many impoverished families, especially during the war #ENGL157

Sam seems to like Freddie because he was almost like a son that he never had, the fact that Freddie never abandons him until the end displays a sign of trust that he hadn't felt before #ENGL157

I find it hard to understand why Kings in Disguise never caught on more than it did, even if it is set in the Great Depression and deals with hard topics like anti-semitism and communism #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

The hard-hitting edgy art by Dan Burr in the novel feels like an accurate way of depicting Kings in Disguise #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

The fact that Freddie's father left him and that his brother got put in jail emphasizes the hardships that many faced during the Great Depression #ENGL157

Bruce's channels his closeted sexuality into his harshness with Alison in his household, so when he reveals to Alison that he has had sexual encounters with males it seems like it gives her some clarity #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

I wonder if the fact that Alison was able to handle her sexuality openly and the fact that Bruce couldn't was one of the driving factors for his death #ENGL157

Maus II does a great job of capturing the brutality of many father-son relationships and I feel like many people can relate to Art not knowing what to make of their time together #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

Vladek calling Art "Richieu" at the end of the end of Maus II was both fitting and depressing at the same time. It would have felt wrong with an upbeat ending #ENGL157

I wonder why Spielman uses mice in order to tell his own personal story #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

Maus is one of the most interesting cartoons that we have covered so far in this class because of the way that Spielman focuses on the layout of the comic #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

Toland's journey shows that when one finally truly accepts themselves they prosper and become happier #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

I think the fact that Stuck Rubber Baby is written and illustrated by only one author and adds a completely different context to the story #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

I like how Cruse chose to have Toland tell the story from a future version of himself #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

It feels like many of the authors in the books we have read so far have protagonists that are flawed in one way or another #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

Berg being absolutely massive and also eloquent while speaking is a great idea for a character #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

Bitter Root does a great job of blending lesser-known historical events with traditional comic style characters #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

The most interesting issue of Planetary for me is the torture of William Leather because he expects Snow to help him but gets the opposite response #ENGL157

[Jason Lamprecht @jasonsdsu1]

I prefer the art work in Planetary over any of the previous readings so far #ENGL157
