JMF has rightfully reverted my previous edit about Manouach's involvement with Katz as it was not supported and potentially a WP:BLP violation.

I suggest adding the following revision with the citations both from academic literature, attributing the book to Manouach, and from the artist's website, to refute the WP:BLP violation (Editted again following a discussion with Acroterion )

The artist Ilan Manouach[1][2] and the Belgian publisher La Cinquième Couche produced a book entitled Katz, a remix of Spiegelman's book but with all animal heads replaced with cat heads, saying that "freezing the representation of victims and tormentors like Spiegelman did, means adopting the standpoint of the oppressed, who can only see things in this light because of his own intrinsic role. It may only be a choice of point of view, but which implies accepting the roles imposed by nature. And naturalizing history is dangerous." [3]
