Just as much as i hate when journalists use Wham, Bam, kapow or derivatives in their articles, it also annoys me when they describe Maus as Jews as mice and Germans as cats or Holocaust with animal characters.
It so smuggly simplistic; what made Maus good was that it cute animals. Not the writing, the brutal honesty, not the characters, but because its had bad kitties and poor mouseys.

A new book from Image's Doug Holgate, 'Apocalypse Meow', stars ferrets, kittys and hippos in this tale (Tail) delves into the darkness of the Vietnam war and the shades of gray. It also has lots of little birdies.
