"I mean, I guess anything could happen when you want to get some kind of response out of the bench. You know, and the people that are under Bruce, why do I always want to say Bruce gassing? Jim Montgomery, you know, that could be a possibility. But I really bring this on the players and not the staff. I mean, collectively, yes, you can bring it's a team failure across the board. But ultimately, I just don't want to blame I wouldn't want to put a ton of blame on the coaching staff as a group, but more or less on the players just possibly just not taking it all in. And like Sharon dietz said the past couple times. It almost seemed like Montgomery was allowing the play as to coach themselves, which was kind of weird in my opinion. Yeah, I think that that was a common theme that we saw sort of at the press conference just that spreading of blame. I think it's do a lot of different places. Yeah, I'm not off board the Montgomery train. I but then again, I wasn't like one of those people, I know my dad was like this. I wasn't one of those people that was like really, really pissed when we got rid of Bruce Cassidy. Not that I didn't like Bruce Cassidy. I don't know, it wasn't working. We didn't have the success that we thought that we should be having. So yeah, I mean, so that's why I'm still, I think that it was a learning experience, you know? And I appreciate it. I think that we saw a lot of accountability that jam Montgomery was putting on himself at the press conference. So I don't know, I'm hopeful. Still ready to start again and hopefully I think that the really big improvements that we need to see are going to happen. Come play off time. So it might be a while before these theories get tested, but I don't know, I'm still hopeful, still on board the Monte train, but I will be swayed if things go poorly again next season. Yeah, I think there's a thin line, especially when you're a young coach or a new coach. And I think the Celtics are learning this right now. There's a thin line between understanding, well, we have a lot of great leaders on this team and we're a veteran group and, you know, it's almost like you allow them to manage themselves, but at some point you have to still be the coach and still do coach things and look at a guy like bergeron and say, no, I'm the coach. We're going to do it my way. And I'm just using him as him as an example. But at some point, as the coach, you have to coach. And you know, I think it's easy for a guy maybe like Monty to, I don't want to say, you know, kick his heels up on his desk and put his hands up and, you know, say, hey, you guys got it, you know? But I think that the time is going to come when you have to be the head coach and you have to lead. And you know, I think like you said he's learning, I think that's something that he's definitely going to have to work on as you go. You know, it's got to be hard to look at veterans that are going to be future Hall of Famers and, you know, give them the what for, but it's something you got to do sometimes, you know. So I don't know why, but I'm kind of out on Joe Sacco and I can't even really tell you why other than I don't know what he does.

And I don't want to get too nerdy about it here, but are there, I know in this sport a lot, a lot of weight gets carried by your assistant coaches, and I know that, you know, and I know he didn't throw him under the bus. The way it was written was that Montgomery through goalie bob essence, under the bus. And if you listen to it, he didn't. But obviously he puts a lot of emphasis on his assistant coaches. And, you know, Joe sacko is from the old regime. Chris Kelly is a Bruin, right? So is now a good time to find yourself an offensive guru head coach that can help fix things that's maybe outside of the organization. You know, I don't know, I don't know what Joe Sacco does so well that has kept his job. I don't know much about John Gruden. But is it maybe time to not necessarily, I'm not a fire Monte Monte guy yet. I'm not to that point, but if he relies so much on his assistance, is it time to look at the staff, goalie bob aside, 'cause I think it's important to keep that guy. But is it time to look at some of the personnel on his staff and make some changes? Yeah, I mean, I think that that's I think that is valid. I think a lot of the core obviously are still around from Cassidy and before that. And, you know, you do wonder, is there would there have been some guidance that a different face, a fresh face could have provided that would have changed things.

"So you got fired a month to do his job and was rehired less than 24 hours later because his entire team, including the sun, some of the owners are protested. Yeah, protested. And said they were not going to play unless he was back. So a guy that has had that track record for getting players to buy in, same thing with the islanders. Again, when you're in a team coach by Barry tried, so you're known for having the identity of stingy grinded out team, but as a guy who helped run their defense, he played a very practical and hands on role in terms of getting that defense to be a team that was tough to play against. I think they were in the top ten in fewest goals against per game in all four years with the islanders. So it seems like a guy that wherever he's gone, he's done a very good job at getting guys to communicate, get his message across, get guys to buy in. And so for this team, if his main objective is getting more offensive capabilities out of this decor, seems like a pretty good guy to take on that task, especially if it's something that allows guys like mcavoy or grizzly would have you hit another gear in terms of their offensive production. I don't think you're going to see Brendan Carlo all of a sudden be a 15 goal score or what have you. But if he's able to get if he's able to get more production or just more adopting more mindset of finding those shooting lanes of not being afraid to take a shot and maybe in the past, you'd be chastised for being a low danger shot. If it's all about finding those lanes and capitalizing on them, seems like a pretty good guy for kind of the objectives or the bruins are mapping out for this roster. And that was something that bruins wanted the past couple of years. I remember even Cassidy mentioning this after the hurricane series in 2020 and the bubble saying, we need to get more shots through from the point. And over the past couple of years, it never really took place. And again, hampus lindholm helps with that. It does not help the Charlie mcavoy is going to be out for the first month and a half, two months of the season. Of course, I could be out for a month. So that definitely hurts, but I do think when the lineup is healthy, I think for the direction they want to go in, Gruden sounds like the guy. We will see we will completely say, again, it's an assistant coach, so it's not like he's going to revitalize the whole system. But good to get a new voice on the bench. You know, they got one last year in Chris Kelly. They've had Joe Sacco now forever. I know Joe sack was nothing to do with the defense, but like Joseph has been there since I think like what 2014. Quite a while. Quite a while. And you have goalie bob, obviously. So quite the assistant coaching crew Gruden and interesting hire should be interested to see what he does. But Connor, what can people look forward to from you over at Boston sports journal? Yeah, Evan, we're going to continue to break down the off season as we await some actual tangible news surrounding increased version on David creche. But until that happens, we'll still have you covered every step of the way. I think next week we're going to do a little bit of a dive into prospects and we usually do a prospect ranking every year during the off season, so I think we're going to commit to that undertaking next week quite the undertaking.

"That's promo code CL and S 50. Bet online, where the game stack. That's where the game stats. You know, it's funny. I keep pointing at the camera and stuff. And I don't know if people can tell. I have a cut on my finger, and I have two other cuts in here. I am okay. Golf, by the way, is not new to me, but I'm not a seasoned vet. I don't play a ton. I play a couple times a year. First time playing golf this year, driving range was gripping the clubs too tight and tore this hand apart. So I am fighting through it. This is like, you know, this is playoff hockey over here. Just fighting through the hand pain. Barely type in, just fighting to send off the tweets, just ridiculous. At least you're holding yourself accountable 11. It's good to see you. Yes. Oh, yes. Oh, a 100%. No. It's all me, baby. That's my fire. You're not firing the instructors of the driving range. I'm firing the driving range. They're done. They're overwhelmed. They're firing. Breaking all my clubs, new grips, all that stuff. Speaking of new coaches, the bruins are searching for one. And Joe MacDonald reported earlier this week the 5 candidates, David Quinn, Spencer carbery, Jim Montgomery, Jay Lee, I'm doing this off the top of my head, and there was Joe Sacco, Joseph was the other. A sack of Steve is kind of more like a, you know, hey, we're gonna do this because we're being nice, you know, you're an assistant. Of course, you're gonna get the chance, but you're not high on the list. Type thing. But we're all kind of figuring out and we'll get to who of the 5 were most intrigued by. But what are the bruins looking for in a new coach, aside from a new voice? 'cause I keep stacking all these guys up against Cassidy. There's only one. I mean, there's two younger ones that I look at and say, okay, they have potential. But some of the others, you know, David Quinn is tough to tell, you know, you saw him in New York summit, but you he's good. I don't know if we can sit here and say he's an official officially an upgrade over Cassidy. You know, Jim Montgomery is sort of the same thing. It's tough to tell Joe Sacco for sure isn't an upgrade. So like that's the tough part. Is it's not like you're going into a broken situation. It's not like, you know, you had a really bad coach. Cassidy was terrific. Jack Adams winner. So I don't know what, like, what are they looking for aside from just the new voice?.

"The only issue, of course, is one, getting the cap room because even if especially bergeron's back, you have to then move out quite a few contracts to comment a guy like kadri, who I think is going to get what, at least $7 million, annually on his new deal. And again, also the risk is, all right, you're trying to build with that next generation. Kadri is a very good player, but as I said earlier, he's going to be 32 going into next season. Is that a guy that you want to hand a 5 year contract 6 year contract at $7 million annually? I mean, by what? Year three, he could already be starting to decline up pretty heavily. So definitely something you have to weigh if you're the bruins. Let's see. I guess we'll get one or two more in here. From Joe travia who says if Cassidy does in fact get fired, big if. Who are your top three most likely guys to replace him? Well, knowing the bruins logic, I'd imagine they'd probably first look internally, of course. That's what they always do. At a guy like Joe Sacco, who bruins played pretty well when he was on the venturing that stretch for Cassie was out with COVID. I could see that maybe looking at a guy like Jay leitch, who's out in Seattle right now who seemed to be a logical kind of that next man up if a few years down the road, the bruins wanted to move on from Cassidy..

"I got the call. Because i knew corporate well that traded colorado which i was at the time because i knew peer good relationship with pierre from previous years and they had a good team so i was happy at the time but i was note. Who call they call me but the thing is my my wife was pregnant and she was getting giving birth like right right there but because i was pierre was nice enough to say you know what stay stay with your wife and your baby because you can't even play any way you can't skate. You can't play so take the time that it's going to need to be there for her birth. Yeah so that was good. Then then. I joined the team at the end. The year played two games and the we beat dallas in the playoffs. First round then lost to i nine so that was kind of you mentioned joe. Sacco earlier playing with him. Just i mean we don't really you don't really hear much about other than you. Just quiet humble guy and you said you just year over us for as the best and i play with a lot of great leaders on me ron. What for me is the the whole time. Captain of team like i mean the way. He doesn't talk much but he's he's nice to everybody from the guy that works at the rink to your rookie to and he shows leads by example. Work super hard. He's in the gym night. Like for me. It was a great teammate. And you know. I'm sure he's the same as Gm but great teammate. greg player. He played even longer if he wanted to. So that was a good bunch of guys. Andrew brunette was there can. Bill was the coach saw. I loved it there now. A word from our friends at liquid death. You may start noticing there a strange tall boys of beer in the bottled water section of your local stores. Well it's not. It's actually mountain. Spring water from the alps in it's called liquid death the what's called liquid death because it will brutally murder thirst in the infinitely recyclable. Tallboy can't help to bring death to plastic bottles. They also donate ten percent of the prophets every cancelled the help plastic to help kill plastic pollution. I got a box. I thought it was malt. Liquor was slugged him down walking around the street people. I was like the local hobo but it was even better. It was freezing. Cold water from the alps that i was drinking right here in boston. The stuff is unlike any water drunk. Because this from australia it's unreal. Check it out. Go to liquid death dot com slash tickets to get a free set of cousy with your first order of any case of water or just grabs him at any whole foods or seven eleven murder that thirst. I want to ask when you really pot. While you're there was pita bu diet now but you you guys seem like total opposite guys just based on reputation flanders no like e such an easy going guy and you know like i'm easy going in my own way too but we have a good relationship it was i loved colorado and that's actually in my career. The biggest regret i add like i gamble on my contracts that paid off like when when i wanted to but when i left denver for washington they offer me or three year deal that i didn't take 'cause i played the same card that i did in montreal. I didn't like their numbers but looking back like that's one of the biggest mistake. I should've stayed in colorado. Where jeff was there that i knew you would help me. Tony granados stepped into the head coach. I was like this with tony because he'd been an assignment but the thing is when i was negotiating pure peer lack wa was hurt so i was negotiating with passwords guy. Got i was there two years. He's a lawyer was in the league for many years and they. They offered me good money. They were offering me three years ten point five but things. I'm like listen. We just beat minnesota the year. Before i said i just want minimum four million and i'll sign in building one but then it's twelve twelve o'clock for free agency. I get a call from Cadillac west best. Best friend is rene angelil which is cylinder. Jones husband at the time bruni was pierced. Best friend and rene in quebec. He's like a popular renown. Selene but so he calls me fifteen minutes before neda. 'cause i knew him a little bit but i knew i knew in pretty well but not to talk. He's like what's going on. You're not signing peer. Call me says they gave you a good deal. I said listen. Run out. And i'm going to sign if they don't i said your gun but but i knew in washington i knew i was getting four point five year so three five four five at four. I'll take less to stay there. So it is what it is and then i thought they would call back but washington just made the playoffs the year before right so i'm like this team. I'm going to win the cup with that team. So my my knowledge or my scouting was good on the team. I just didn't know bruce boudreau. I didn't know about that guy. So when he played with his goalie back and ford and this because i mean the team was great. I love washington was great. There's one quote. I didn't get along with was bruised. I was like what do you mean by take us know how to manage. Take the beginning of the relationship when you maybe new like this is gonna be different. Well okay so then. I don't sign in denver. Which again i regretted not only because of that because you know we love denver as a city the team and i think just i would've kept my game right there. Go to washington where super talented team. But i mean they don't know about defense and it is what it is especially when they were twenty one. I could tell you stories about It was it was fun time because we're winning. But right bruce. I other shut and i'm using montreal playing sixty five games and colorado with. Ken ville i frigging played. Forty out of the last forty five games which i like how to shuttle them not playing the knicks game like bruce viewing it. What's going on man because i cannot. What would the experience..

"Interview granado that. Got out there. If you talk at that got out there you go on deck out the interview. Joe sacco that cut out I think the one name the interview that we didn't hear was taxed and you know when the new starting to get out. I was ninety. Nine percents was axed old. But you always have that slight doubt and doubt nagged at me and i i was just really careful and you know is a big surprise. That caught a lot of people by surprise. And you know the the the reason is know. I just don't think that hackers stole was was hired a lot of lists. And that doesn't mean that ron francis wrong. Aquino's him they were together. The two thousand nine hundred worlds. It doesn't mean that. Ron francis wrong or seattle is wrong. I just think that on a lot of lists on them. As he was on ron francis and you know i should have said this earlier. I do want to say this now. I'm very curious to hear what is right. Is going to do for luke richardson lucrative. When that icing against montreal it shouldn't have been an icing and overtime boroughs is freaking out and richardson is calm. And he has been calm on that bench. And you know it's gonna be really interesting to see you know. I think to sharm it. Obviously he's coming back. But what is this going to mean for richardson. You know his is he. Start to rise to the top of lists. He's been a guy who's really been passed over kind of forgotten man in some ways. It hostile from toronto now hacksaw. It gets this huge opportunity. And i'm curious to see what this is going to mean for. Richardson he's a team. Cheer for people. And he's topping list for the For the montreal. Canadians i i cannot be more happy for that guy and if it listen if it leads To greater bigger things for him than a man because that guy and that family very much deserves it. When you look at dave hacksaw with the seattle cracking and you think about the higher from ron francis is point of view. Ron francis is a very quiet and thoughtful person. Do we say the same thing about dave hawks. Oh yeah so. Basically if the two finalists were dave hextall and rick talk which. I think they were there to could you get to more diametrically opposed. People talk it is emotion. He played on a motion. He pushes people. He you know the one thing. I don't like there's a narrative talk that he's anti analytics or dozen is interested in athletics arizona. Try to lot of different things and the people who work there told me he was incredibly open minded about them. You know he listened. He was happy to take everything into account so. I don't think that's fair narrative. You know i like obviously there's to coaching opportunities left going back to arizona. I mean we'll see if there's any interest on on buffalo's part talk it. Is you know he's got a lot of people who really liked him in the league. We'll see where this goes. Hack still is more cerebral. He's a thinker. He's you know when when i ask people today. What was the best thing about tax dol- in philadelphia. They said the best thing he.

"A tiger than paint stripes on a kitty cat. That's pete deboer t makes bold moves an to some news from around the nhl. Okay so you raised some eyebrows once again on on headlines hockey night in canada with some news about oliver ackermann larson Captain defenseman arizona. Coyotes is a trade going to happen here. this time. Ellard sure sounds like it now. You'll don't forget his contract. Six years laughed at eight point. Two million there's a five point two five million dollar bonus not this summer but next summer that complicates things but i do believe that we will see a deal happen look last year. He gave teams boston or vancouver this year. From what i understand there was a conversation between ackman larsen and the team were. Everybody said we have to make this work. You know. I think they financially. They're going to strip it down. But i think he also recognizes. He needs a change. And i will say this. There are some teams out there who i've spoken to. Who said they think he's gotten a bit stale there and they would be very curious to see how he would beat a new environment. It's complicated because of the contract. I think he's he's got six years left. He's got five but that's one of the things here is there's a willingness on everybody's side to make it happen and what they're gonna do. Is the coyotes. Have the permission to shop the deal. And then go to ackman larson. Who's got a no move clause and say okay. How do you feel about this. And i think he's gonna be open to more scenarios so i think it's going to happen. One of the teams. I wonder about is still the bruins. What cam nealy say minute eating left shoddy. But they've been interested in him going back to when he was before he signed this monster contract with arizona. There is always a talk that if he doesn't do deal there zona he's going to boston. That's a team. That has the most interesting. This isn't something new between this player and that team correct No that's that's definitely it's definitely true. There's no question about that. i do. They still see him as the guy i don't know but they liked in the past as you said and he's obviously very interested in going there. Let's see if we we work it out seeking with arizona We've talked about the coaching situation. There a couple of different times. I don't know how warm it is with. Mike van ryan who seems to be the favourite. Should i say if he wants it. Should we go that far. I think that's fair. I from my guessing. I think van ryan is probably the number one contender if he wants it you know. He knows the organisation. The general manager knows him. Because after van ryan left arizona he went to saint louis or bill armstrong. Wise van ryan does have a very good reputation. I mean it's not like it would be. Anyone would have a huge issue with him getting a coaching job being. Oh he's got he's gained experience. He's very highly thought of some of the other names. I think todd. Nelson's in there. I think andre tourneys is in there. I think there's a couple other guys someone suggested to me. That may be neat lemon. Who we've kind of tied in with buffalo might be in there. There's probably more. that's you know. The biggest question is that they're going to wait for to talk to lean lambert. I believe so and then some other people have said it might not last that long. But i think it's fair from outside looking into say that van ryan at the top of the list. The one name that i've been told associated with van ryan. If he does end up going is watch for. Daniel could chuck to see if he ends up going as an assistant as well. How much stripping it down a quick final thought how much they stripping it down in arizona. Well i think. I think oh i think. Castle the interesting camper to me. You know his name was all over the rumors last year. He had a tough year this year with injuries. But you know one of the key things that happened was he played very well and canada. Winning the gold medal of the world's so that one's going to be. I think campers going to be an interesting one. Because i think he can get what they want. Which is picture prospects right. yes So those are the three names. I think about the most i. I'm very curious to see. Would they consider moving any member. Oh i i also think well. We've talked about him. A few times garland i saw like those four names are probably at the top list. I think aspen larson gets traded. I think castle gets treated and then we watch on garland and camper. Because i think there's going to be interest and they want to restock and they can probably get what they want for. Both those guys. My finally get my garland to boston trade knowing full. Well sounds like boston boston. It's a huge deal. Ackman castle in garland go back to boston. Just give me one of these good old fashioned cliff. Fletcher trades eight players. All right off the arizona page dougie hamilton. Talking to teams. What are you here. What do you know. I think he is. But i don't think it's going to be anything. Imminent interesting gamble by carolina here. It's it's become more and more clear to me that carolina's sees this as maybe doesn't get what he likes out there and we'll see Seattle talk it. I think it's talk it but there's there's at least one other person in there. It's interesting you know talk. It has been easier to track. Not because he leaks anything but because he's been interviewed by every team right so it kind of gets out there. I think there were two finalists. Who went to seattle last week and met with the team. They think talk. It was one. And i'll tell you the second one was hard to pin down because i don't necessarily think it's someone who's had a lot of interviews with different teams. I people suggest it was kevin dineen. And there's a fit there. Because you know obviously tight. With ron francis they played together. He was the head coach in san diego last year. Anaheim's american hockey league team. There's a feeling that at the very least deneen could end up on the seattle staff though. I'm not sure it's a head coach. There was some talk that it might be tony granato who is a former. Nhl head coach. You know obviously can works in the organization He's at the university of wisconsin. And i do think they've talked to him. I just can't figure out if it was recent. There's joe sacco who. They've definitely interviewed and assistant boston. Former head coach. You know there was some people who wondered if it was dave tippett the coach and edmonson though. I don't believe it was the case. I just wanted to knock that down right there but there were some people who believed it was it because he used to work for the organization so i think the second finalist is someone who has an interview as much elsewhere so it was harder to get to but it was talk and one other guy. It sounds like it's talking but until it's done it's not done okay. moving along then Maple leafs assistant coaching situation. Anything there you know. If there's one thing i wish i would have mentioned on saturday night. Sometimes i'm too careful. And this one. I probably would have said that the word promotion was involved. I believe that there's one or two toronto assistance. Who have been interviewed for jobs. That would be promotions elsewhere. And they're waiting to see if they get those jobs or that person gets those jobs and then we'll see what the coaching staff looks like. We'll see what happens there. But i'm not anticipating changes unless someone on that staff gets a promotion somewhere else and you still think the maple leafs as a team are going to be swinging for the fence on someone. Oh yeah. I do big swing there. Okay always interesting when someone wins an award for the first time who sort of been flirting around it for a number of years and this year we see alexander berkoff when his very first selke trophy..

"Stories through graphic out. We've been snooping the occupations. Borough and i but not today today. We're not looking for trouble. we're just cruising east jerusalem. That's all now we're crossing nablus road. School kids off the bus to get to the other side. I repeat today. We're not looking for trouble. Joe sacco palestine. I'm curious what it's like. Sort of visualizing persons trauma through comex the makes it different superior perhaps even to traditional ways of treating such topics we worked with agree repos survivors of torture from lanka in a medical facility in north london. And they being tortured before they left and they were Seeking asylum and we sat there Psychologists in a in a room and they explain to us what gone through after fleeing sri lanka and coming back home to england war coup. Dick's began work on a graphic novel called vani. It's the story of. Sri lankan civilians caught up in the violence of the civil war. He created vani with illustrator lindsay pollock and drew and they really involved. When they started to say on the page the route that they had been describing suddenly appear as lindsay druid and then started to get very voted. There was a there was a fan on the ceiling and there was an oldest memory. Started to come out the day there was. There was a bolt on the door. It was on the left side. Not the right side and some oldest detail starts to come out those chipped tile on the floor down there ya and that was fascinating. Go through and you could see. I mean the psychologist would tell us that this was this is a very beneficial for them to be able to go through that process and there's a lot of workout revolt therapy and stuff of that but we we went train. We were researching out book. But i that was clearly a lot of positive energy in that room when it comes to the idea. The disastrous event and trauma. There is a debate about what is representative. And what is unrepresentative for literary studies. I think the idea of unrepresented ability has to do with recognizing that trauma as category marks out experience so extreme that literary form cannot capture the extremity of that experience for an individual for a population. Say the experience of genocide that. There's there's something that so excessive about trauma that form cannot accurately do justice to its parameters. So that's the idea that it's unrepresentative will and that doesn't mean that there hasn't been plenty of production across all sorts of different areas of culture that have tried to represent trauma but especially in the nineties. It became typical within trauma. Studies to acknowledge what the french film director. Claude lanzmann has called the blindness at the heart of trauma so he did a nine hour documentary about the holocaust called shoah. As as i'm sure you and many other people are aware of that. Uses no archival footage from world war two in. This was a specific choice. And he also perhaps me was say doesn't use any reenactments so there's no representation of violence in that film. That is all about violence instead. He's he's sort of showing us the absence sometimes. The word representation suggests that comics some have stood standing back from the world's just reflecting it and that we can just go and have a look in there when we when we feel like it. I think i've always keen to emphasize that comex. Don't just reflect the world but they they can help to make it to and again a lot of this comes from Spiegelman's maus and behind that it comes from holocaust studies and really comes from the don. Very famous statement often misquoted. That but i'm sure everyone will be familiar with which you can't you can't write poetry after to auschwitz and the root of that is you know what would it mean to what it means sort of do a create to turn something so because the holocaust into Something beautiful sight to turn to turn something as renders historical event to make out of that film that is moving or a comic. The teas or a piece of all his that makes us admire. Its for its beauty of its intelligence or you know what that raises serious ethical questions. We might see shoah as representing the view within this debate that absence and the presence of absence ethically aesthetically. What one must do to address trauma. We see film schindler's list on the opposite end of the spectrum right steven spielberg takes us into the gas chambers. Right he takes us right there. He recreated a death camp for his film as the movie set. He's interested in recreation Both in production and in the film right so he wants to deliver those images of violence for viewers. A one of the dangers when it comes to looking at school reading about traumas this sense of a kind of voyeurism so reading about traumatic events or violent events for some sort of kind of perverse enjoyment. And i think the fact that we have the relationship a hillary cola witnessing between the artist and the thing that's been witnessed inscribed in the page in the very sort of form of that of the handwriting particularly powerful protection against that that kind of move voyeuristic consumption of traumatic or traumatized culture.

"Geopolitical. Superman had very strong subtext. One that Dealt in one sense of with trauma with the world trauma those growing up around them and their own personal fantasies and needs so. I'd say they're always serious. So one could come directly about the holocaust. And when could we deal with slavery and people's of terminal illnesses. that's a more recent development mouses and early entry into that world. It was in part made possible by one of the underground comics friends. I had back in the san francisco early moments of that Vining justin green. Who did a comic called. Dinky brown meets the holy mary with pinky brown being a an avatar for himself. Justin green's work. Pinky brown meets the holy virgin mary which came out in nineteen seventy two and is conventionally understood is the very first auto-biographical comics work in the united states. So justin green's comic book. Pinky brown inspired a lot of other kinds of stories. to take shape i'm specifically stories by women about embodiment and sexuality in art. Spiegelman has said that he could not have done house without the inspiration provided to him by justin green and big brown. You know the content of those stories are very different but what is similar in. Both of those stories is that kind of unflinching. Look at the self and thinking about the self not as a but as justin green puts it as kind of specimen book deal with his own obsessive compulsive disorders. He put it and very overtly with the trauma of growing up catholic and feeling guilty and not feeling absolution from the church definitely deserving of its x rating as he would walk past churches and see the steeples as phallic symbols that he had to not look at directly and so on. I mean i often say this to my students. I teach maki brown. What could be more private than masturbation and religious visions. I can't think of anything so this was suddenly content that could be made public because there was no editor who was going to edit that out there was a completely different cultural field for comics. Once the underground started started picking up out to see my father in rego park. I hadn't seen him in a long time. We weren't that close. He'd aged a lot since i saw last my mother suicide in his two heart attacks had taken. Their toll was remarried. Mullen new my parents in poland. Before the war she was a survivor to like most of my parents friends. They didn't get along art. Spiegelman the complete mouse the impact of a mouse on comics gruff novacopy underestimated. But what i would say is that the impacts have mouse on trauma. Studies company underestimated the budget rumors. To these i mean the field of psychologists of experts historians of the holocaust experts in in the cult representation of trauma all these kinds of different ways of in which traumas constructed is something that we understand and can and can talk about spiegelman's really been. His mouth is at the center of all of that. From a coach was days perspective. Trauma is their word we can use. I think to describe text are dealing with the legacy of particular events and so trump is kind of. It's a very intangible thing. It's impacted impacts upon forms An an interesting ways and and the comic has you know. The form of the comic has has been particularly good at sat kind of capturing that impacts hoping artists office tend to navigate impacts died of congestive heart failure on august eight can't nineteen eighty two francois's and i stayed with him in the catskills back in august. Nineteen seventy nine. Lenox started working tinman in australia. In the spring of nineteen forty four. I started working on this page at the very end of february. Nineteen eighty two in may nineteen eighty-seven class wasn't expecting a baby. Between may sixteenth nineteen forty four and may twenty four th nineteen forty four over one hundred thousand. Hungarian jews were gassed in. It's in september nineteen eighty six eight years of work. The first part of mouse was published. It was a critical and commercial success. At least fifteen foreign editions are coming out of gotten four serious offers to turn my book into a tv special or movie idol walker in may nineteen sixty eight. My mother killed herself. She left out lately. I've been feeling depressed. Art spiegelman the complete mouse. Is it fair to call mouse. Memoir is that is that a correct characterization. Yeah i suppose it's correct to call it a memoir in that deals with memory. But i never thought about it that way because It's not my memories of the death camps and the plight of jews in world war two. It's my memories of my father and what he's able to tell me what i was able to understand what he's holding me and what i can put down on paper of what i understood for me. What always fascinated me so much about the form of comex in contradistinction to photograph for example is the way it could put different time frames or temporarily to think of it together in one space and so in mouse this this happens In a page for example in which art spiegelman was a character in the book and his father vladic spiegelman who is a survivor of the actuates. Death camp in poland. They're walking in new york in the late. Nineteen seventies or early nineteen eighty s. And they're talking about the holocaust. And then on the same page you actually see latic in auschwitz being paraded in front of dr mangla. Almost by definition comics are a welding together of past present and future. As soon as you've got three boxes you've got the bucks reading then couple boxes ahead of it that represent the future and then as you look back to your left in american comics. You've got a past president future visual lies spatially as well as something you're reading about and i think it's important aspect of what comics do by their nature and as i formulated years ago comics time turned into space with via a strategic form which is difficult with other forms is that you can transcend time and space and emotion so you can actually go inside. Eight someone's hate. Ooh that trauma can draw Kind of looming in a cloud above their heads which is really interesting. When you're dealing with such topics conflict to migration that's benjamin war coup decks. He worked as a un communications and liaison manager in sri lanka during the civil war. How did you come to comics. Are you there. The six months before we evacuated from the vanni. That was a huge amount of time spent sitting in the bunker and so we would get radio. We'll talk. He's birds in the sky. Birds in the sky aside Vice this north of sri lanka than there would be u n in the middle sri lanka and the cafe jets would usually take off from columbus in the south so we ended up spending many hours sitting in the bunka and one of my colleagues had two graphic novels one was palestine. joe sacco's palestine and one was mouse. So i read them back to back and was just fascinated by how you could tell such complex political difficult.
