Sunday Comic, of a sort
I wanted the first Sunday colour comic to be fancier, but family obligations got in the way. So here’s a little quick something with… weird colours?
Fancier comic next week.

Fancier comic next week.
Ooooh! I like the colors! It makes everything light and cheery! Quite a change from gloom-doom of Vesuvius blowing his top.
Herculaneum–before everything is covered in grey ash.
who is the other girl?
Sejanti.
Her hair should be darker, and she probably shouldn’t change complexions in the middle. The paper wouldn’t take watercolours well, so I ended up switching to Copic markers, then I mixed up which markers I was using…. It’s a learning process?
Or they may be mutant chameleon Romans. Aliens messed with the ancient civilizations a lot, you know.
History Channel 2 is full of interesting stuff. 🙂
I’m glad to see that the girls had a relatively pleasant childhood considering their different stations in life. Do you know if it was common for roman slaves to be raised alongside their future masters?
Also I love that, even in childhood, only Spendusa could do Iusta’s hair.
It was in fact not out of the ordinary for slaves to be raised alongside their masters. Sometimes even to be educated with them and trained along the same lines. That would depend on the master’s kindness, what “career path” the slave was on, whether they wanted to raise the slave’s retail value, whether the slave was born into the house and/or was the master’s offspring, etc. and so on.
Iusta may need to consider a haircut now.
