ART SPIEGELMAN

So, Maurice: Wish you could’ve been here for the outpouring of deserved affection that coursed through the media when you split. If there’s anything to this posterity thing, you’re with us through your work as fully as Laurel and Hardy or your beloved Mozart … so why do I miss you so?

The author, most recently, of “MetaMaus.” A traveling retrospective of his work, “Co-Mix,” is at the Pompidou Center in Paris until May 21.
