About a year ago, while I was in some kind of flight delay limbo en route to Chicago, Beckus and I decided to start a webcomic. It was going to be called Penguins in Togas, and Beckus would draw cartoons about penguins and I would draw cartoons involving togas, but not really. This was a very good plan. Unfortunately, I was the only one who actually drew the cartoons, and only two of them at that, so the plan failed. However, I think it would be a waste to let those two cartoons wither in the anonymity of teh interwebs when they were obviously so brilliant, so I will reproduce them here.


This project had so much potential.

I missed something in the first one, but the second one is great.
I LOVE the hipster one. That needs to be on a tote bag somewhere.
Someday I would like to hire to you to illustrate the Greek history textbook I dream of writing....
BTW, the Plato one reminds me of the ultimate dweeb, Pliny the Younger, who refused to go with his uncle to see the eruption of Vesuvius so that he could stay home and do his homework. Wuss.
Mark: Skinny chiton/skinny jeans? Alcibiades/hipster? Well, they can't all be winners.
Alex: You can start that project.
Alpheus: I guess in this sense only is history written by the losers.
