'''''Maus''''' is the [[Magnum Opus]] of [[Art Spiegelman]], a pioneer of the [[Underground Comics]] movement of the [[The Sixties|1960s]] and [[The Seventies|1970s]]. The work is a memoir of Spiegelman's parents, Holocaust survivors, and is interspersed throughout with images of Spiegelman and the strained relationship he has with his father in the present day. The interviews Spiegelman conducted with his father during this time make up the bulk of the book.▼

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Vladek is emotionally abusive to Art, frequently using guilt to get Art to do things for him, making decisions for Art without consulting him, and not taking Art's feelings into account.
** This actually fits more under [[Jewish Mother|Jewish Father]] more than anything else. Doesn't mean he's not a jerk, just that he needs to [[Stop Being Stereotypical]].
