Quotes by Hillary L. Chute (?)

“The medium of comics is not necessarily about "good drawing"--"It's just an accident when it makes a nice drawing," Spiegelman explained to a curator at the MoMA--but rather about what Spiegelman calls picture-writing and Satrapi calls narrative drawing: how one person constructs a narrative that moves forward in time through both words and images.”

“So for Spiegelman, the use of animals, paradoxically, limits sentimentality and makes it possible for authenticity and realism to predominate.”
