Maus is an absolutely stunning piece of work and completely worthy of study on a collegiate level. It ought to be required reading, IMHO.

I don't have a problem with teaching comics in college, but I do have a problem with the teacher comparing the daily death toll in Iraq with that of the holocaust or the VT shootings, unless his point was that American soldiers are doing what they can and must do to try and put an end to the killing in Iraq. The article was rather vague on how the comparison was made.

If I was to guess, I'd say that it would be along the lines of "You think Iraq or VT are bad? More people died every ten minutes in the Holocaust--for years"
