On a special episode of Digital Comics Weekly, Sean & Pat discuss the graphic novel, Maus by Art Spiegelman.

A few weeks ago, a Tennessee school board voted to ban this graphic novel from the school curriculum in an effort to white wash the uncomfortable history of the Holocaust.

This is a serious discussion about Maus and how it has influenced the way we grapple with the hard truths of racism, prejudice, and fascism. Not just in the past, but in modern times.
