- The importance of Vladek's picture is to put a visual with the details in the story.
- Conflict: Anja is worried and depressed because Vladek hasn't returned home yet. "Anja went a few times each day to the Jewish organization...but no sign came of me."(Spiegelman 134). She continued to be depressed until she received a letter from him.
- Art Spiegelman's purpose for creating page 134 and it's panels is just like his purpose for all of his other panels. To further describe the history that comes from his father about the war and his experience.

He also includes the information on how and why the picture was taken and puts the history behind the picture.
