Between the first and the third centuries, a spectacular number of amphorae were broken and dumped at a specific location in Rome near the Tiber River. Over the years, they formed an artificial hill of testae and crockery 45 meters (135 feet) high.
Cordicfan: Other than stunts cooked up at the Ruben Awards and participated in by many cartoonists, these co-instances are not that rare. We find a couple a month where two (or more) cartoonists have the same off-beat subject on the same day..Jason Scarborough: Craftsmen wore the same basic kilt throughout the amphora period, from Minoan through Roman.

I have always wondered if they don’t find “the good stuff” and only locate the “junk” of the past.

There are many ideas and practices that were considered trash when I was a kid and now they are culturally hip, with it, whatever….

So why is the woman dressed in Romanesque clothing while Zog looks like a caveman in a bath towel?

Was wondering if anyone else noticed the Rubes similarity. I caught it immediately because they are side by side in my paper.
