Illustration Friday - Parade



The above parade is 'March Past of the Kitchen Utensils', a scene from Aristophanes' surreal masterpiece 'The Wasps'. The eponymous wasps are in fact jurors, and appear at the lower end of the picture. In fact there's nothing in this piece which shouldn't be there - it's all in Aristophanes.
