Introducing the first piece in the “Jentaculum” series! Jentaculum is the name for the first meal of the day for ancient Romans. ”Quisp” and his (her? its?) adversary “Quake” had an ongoing battle for the hearts and minds of kids in the early 1970s. “Quake” will be featured as the second piece in this set of five. Secondary items (like the dead fish) are taken from existing examples of ancient mosaic and fresco still lives.
