A professor at Princeton (was it Bob Kaster? or someone else?) had this taped to his door; I liked it so much, I took it down, photocopied it, returned the original, and had my copy blown up to poster-size. It was in my classroom for years. The internet seems to know no more about this cartoon than I do: a few Classicists have tweeted out pictures of this image, but no more. It boasts that it is “complete and unabridged” – was it a full edition of Thucydides? Or a comic book? I’d love to find the original, and maybe commission a whole series of similar drawings for Classical authors. Maybe as t-shirts!
