Publisher's Synopsis
Anchovius Caesar: The Decomposition of a Romaine Salad, the second volume of the Shakespearean Tragic-Comics, is a remake of Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar. In this comic, many of the main characters are the key ingredients a Caesar salad. The star is a little fish named Anchovius Caesar. The Roman citizens, played by Romaine lettuce leaves, sway this way and that, cheering for Caesar one moment and for Brutus the next. The countrymen are crouton-men. Mark Antony is a mock anchovy, a sprat. As we know from Shakespeare and history, the salad state cannot hold. Numerous creatures - Brutus, a weasel, Cassius, a crocodile, Trebonius, a fluorescent Kaputar pink slug (a Triboniophorus), Casca, a deadly Cascabel rattlesnake, and a host of other killers - are on the loose! Anchovius must die!
