Early in the chapter, Artie is facing two separate dilemmas: how to draw Francoise and Vladek’s obsession with the Dreyfus Affair.
Why does Artie feel that Francoise should be drawn differently and how does she feel about it? What does he decided to do?
Artie feels Francoise should be drawn different due to her ethnic background vs. what she is conforming to for Artie’s sake. He feels that she should be drawn to something that fits her more as a French woman rather than a Jewish woman. This brings up why Artie got upset and went on a make shift rant of a comic strip that he would present, on how a frog could magically just turn into a mouse when reality that frog is still just a frog. This making Francoise upset to where she brings Artie’s ex-lover into the picture on how if he just married her he could draw all the mice that he wanted. Artie retorting he only dated his ex-lover due to getting over prejudices surrounding middle class Jewish women in New York. You could say Artie is a very realistic type of thinker in getting the aspect of every situation and getting that experience.

How do they feel about Vladek and how do we know? Don’t be afraid to use quotations to get your point across.
The Karps are Vladek’s neighbors. They don’t like Vladek too well; they’re aware of his age and health and want him to go into a nursing home or somewhere away from the house. I say this because Mr.Karp in most of the slides is shown an angry expression showing his agitation and his patience with Vladek. Even though the dialog is very short, you could tell there were a lot of issues coming from the neighbors and tension building.
At times it is difficult for us to like Vladek, but in this chapter we meet his friend Mandelbaum. Tell me about Mandelbaum…what is he like? How does Vladek help him and what happens to Mandelbaum in the end? What do you think Artie is trying to show us with this story of Vladek’s
