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.
