Vladek known as Art Spiegelman’s father. Vladek describes himself as “young and a really, handsome boy”. He also compared himself to “Rudolph Valentino”. Vladek in the book is drawn as a strong handsome mouse whilst he was young and the older version of him is just as put, he looks older (glasses, sweater-vests) The way Vladek speaks is unique, such as when he says “It was nothing to find so they searched over the neighbors.” instead of saying “there was nothing to find, so they searched the neighbors.” This shows that even though Vladek moved to America he still hadn't lost his old way of speaking. Vladek in the story he tells his thoughts are very cunning and very caring, but the way Art sees him is as a stubborn old penny-pincher.Vladek
