Maus seems to focus on a lot of narrative, and doesn't prioritize the drawings as much as the story being told so alot of Art Spiegelman's drawings in this specific novel are quite simplistic. He uses icons to depict his characters as animals with a few lines (as opposed to comics like "BlackSad" which goes past simplistic style). That being said Spiegelman's depiction of his father's pained journey through a simple style, has become iconic. I tried to do something similar by briefly depicting some facts about my grandparents' escape from Fidel Castro's governing.
