On page 81 and elsewhere in this chapter, Spiegelman interrupts the sequence of images of the young Vladek in Poland with images of the elderly Vladek riding his exercycle as he tells his story. What is the effect of the interruptions? Why not simply draw the entire chapter in flashbacks?

Seeing the elder Vladek enables the story to be more realistic and human. It concentrates on the the fact that the effects of the Holocaust still live on in the people who experienced it and even down to their offsprings / young ones who do not experience it.

Explanation:

Seeing the elder Vladek enables the story to be more realistic and human. It concentrates on the the fact that the effects of the Holocaust still live on in the people who experienced it and even down to their offsprings / young ones who do not experience it. Spiegelman portrays Vladek wearing a small star and standing in the middle of a giant one. The giant star functions as a spotlight. It's a representation of the influence of the small star badge pointing out Vladek and shaking him vulnerable and hard to miss. Spiegelman includes a poster that advertises "1 kilo of sugar" for every unregistered Jews exposed which goes a long way to tell us that Germans gave poles incentives to show out unregistered Jews.

Spiegelman visually emphasize the fact that the streets have become dangerous for Jews. Images of nazi's beating Jews, spacing is cluttered no one was able to pass through without being beating, riot raging out of control.
