Spiegelman became a key figure in the underground comix movement of the 1970s, both as cartoonist and editor.[47] In 1972 Justin Green produced the semi-autobiographical comic book Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary, which inspired other underground cartoonists to produce more personal and revealing work.[48] The same year, Green asked Spiegelman to contribute a three-page strip for the first issue of Funny Aminals [sic], which Green edited.[47] Spiegelman wanted to do a strip about racism, and at first considered focusing on African Americans,[49] with cats as Ku Klux Klan members chasing African-American mice.[50] Instead, he turned to the Holocaust and depicted Nazi cats persecuting Jewish mice in a strip he titled "Maus". The tale was narrated to a mouse named "Mickey".[47] After finishing the strip, Spiegelman visited his father to show him the finished work, which he had based in part on an anecdote he had heard about his father's Auschwitz experience. His father gave him further background information, which piqued Spiegelman's interest. Spiegelman recorded a series of interviews over four days with his father, which was to provide the basis of the longer Maus.[51] Spiegelman followed up with extensive research, reading survivors' accounts and talking to friends and family who had also survived. He got detailed information about Sosnowiec from a series of Polish pamphlets published after the war which detailed what happened to the Jews by region.[52]
This is an undergraduate-level introduction to elementary numbertheory from a somewhat geometric point of view, focusing on quadratic forms in two variables with integer coefficients.
