I’m shocked that Roy Moore

Just turned on phone and had

Growing up, noted cartoonist 

Art Spiegelman turned to graphic 
novels instead of television to 
engage his curiosity. Little did 
he know, years later he would 
be doing the cover pages for 
The New Yorker and writing for 
magazines such as Arcade and 
Raw.

Spiegelman visited the nearly-

packed 
Michigan 
Theater 

Thursday to talk about his 
experiences and give a talk titled 
“Comics is the Yiddish of Art.”

Chrisstina Hamilton, director 

of the Penny Stamps Speakers 
Series, said Spiegelman was 
invited as part of the Penny 

Stamps Speakers Series, which 
aims to improve student’s views 
of the world.

“All Penny Stamps (events) 

are the same thing, in that (they) 
give people perspective on the 
life that we all live,” Hamilton 
said, noting the event was 
co-sponsored by the Frankel 
Center for Judaic Studies and the 
International Institute’s Conflict 
and Peace Initiative. 

Kelsey 
Robinette, 
public 

relations and events specialist 
at the Frankel Center for Jewish 
Studies, conducted an interview 
with 
Art 
Spiegelman 
this 

summer, which was published in 
their newsletter in preparation 
for his talk today.

As an atheist Jew and the son of 

a Holocaust survivor, Spiegelman 
noted that his parents interacted 

in Polish and Yiddish and that 
influenced what it means for him 
to be a Jew and the culture he 
identified with. 

“Comics like Yiddish is a 

strongly 
vernacular 
language 

spoken by outsiders,” Spiegelman 
said.

Spiegelman 
said 
he 

surrounded himself with comic 
books. He claimed he learned 
economics from Uncle Scrooge 
and philosophy from Peanuts. It 
wasn’t until he read the magazine 
Mad 
by 
Harvey 
Kurtzman, 

however, that he really got 
hooked on the art form.

He sketched himself into one 

of his later comics and said “I 
studied Mad the way some kids 
studied the Talmud.”

Spiegelman 
noted 
his 

extensive 
work 
in 
writing 

“Maus” and how graphic novels 
became important to him.

“I wanted to make a long 

comic book that needed a 
bookmark and would want to 
be re-read. I now know that 
that’s called a graphic novel,” he 
explained.

Spiegelman 
shared 
some 

of his most favorite cartoons, 
including one that was heavily 
criticized of a Black woman 
kissing a Hasidic man, featured 
as a cover of The New Yorkerin 
1993. 

“One has to be careful when 

cartooning,” Spiegelman noted.

Another cartoon Spiegelman 

brought was a portrait of a man 
in a shooting range taking 41 
shots onto the silhouettes of 
people walking past with targets 
on their chests, which came out 
at the time of the famous case of 
police brutality in 1999 in New 
York.

“It turns out that we are wired 

to think in small pictures,” 
Spiegelman said.

For the Daily

Every Friday, The Michigan 
Daily republishes an article 
from The Daily’s archives from 
a moment in University history. 

January 12, 1982 
— The 

current record-breaking cold 
spell has claimed at least 52 
lives nationwide, including 
five in Michigan, and left 
hundreds of travelers stranded 
on the road throughout, the 
state, but life at the University 
and in Ann Arbor has 
continued almost as usual.

It is very unlikely that the 

University will cancel classes 
according to University 
spokesman Joel Berger, 
explaining that an inclement 
weather day is usually 
declared because of excessive 
snowfall, not cold weather.

Even when an inclement 

weather day is declared, 
Berger said, “The University 
never closes down 
entirely.”Each department 
decides which activities will 

continue.

Colleges in some of the 

harder hit areas of the state 
cancelled classes for the day, 
including Western Michigan 
University in Kalamazoo, and 
Northern Michigan University 
at Marquette.

For the first time in seven 

years, all Ann Arbor public 
schools closed because of 
the extreme cold, according 
to Assistant Superintendent 
Bob Moseley. Moseley added 
that the schools shut down an 
average of two to three days 
each year because of heavy 
snowfall.

University President 

Harold Shapiro and other 
University administrators 
make the decision to declare 
an inclement weather day. 
The last one occurred on Feb. 
10, 1981 because of excessive 
snow, Berger said.

About 12 cases of frostbite, 

treated at University Hospital 

and the University Poison 
Center, were the only weather- 
related injuries reported at the 
University. Barbara DeLancey, 
of the center, also reported 
several cases of respiratory 
problems.

Only a few accidents have 

occurred in the past two days, 
according to Ann Arbor Police 
Cpt. Cal Hicks, which is below 
average for the cold weather.

The number motorists in 

trouble calling the department 
has increased, Hicks said, 
adding, however, that people 
are driving with extra caution. 

“They don’t drive as hard 

or as fast” in this weather, he 
said.’ 

The Red Cross has received 

no requests for aid, according 
to Richard Smoote, assistant 
director of emergency 
services. “If lots of people lost 
their heat we would respond 
by opening shelters,” he said. 
“It would depend on what the 

need is over the next couple of 
days.”

Detroit Edison reported 

that no power had been 
knocked out in the Ann Arbor 
area because of the wave of 
arctic temperatures.

Thousands of schools, 

factories, and offices closed 
throughout the eastern 
two-thirds of the nation. 
Pennsylvania reported nine 
deaths and Minnesota, 
locked in a deep freeze 
since Saturday, recorded 
seven weather-related 
deaths. Illinois had six; 
West Virginia and Iowa four 
each; Wisconsin, Maryland 
and New York three a piece; 
Kentucky, Ohio, and New 
Mexico two each, and South 
Dakota and Oregon one each. 
Reports from the United Press 
International were included in 
this story.
