Domitian is definitely the runner-up candidate for the throneAnd now a message from your imperial overlords...

There is no Latin word for 'gobble gobble'

Prince Domitian reads the Imperial turkey pardon. And wishes everyone in the U.S. a Happy Thanksgiving. Or would if, you know, there were a Thanksgiving or any turkeys in ancient Rome.

(Check the entry previous to this for today's comic :) )

oh, but turkeys CAN fly! Just not for a great distance, wings are made for zippy flight and snap-turns to escape predators, but otherwise stay on the ground :D

might depend on the species of turkey?

but I think you're right about Domitian...pardon one turkey but feast on a dozen :P

I suppose if it was Caligula the poor turkey would be dressed up in some crazy costume and made a senator :P

I love how each crazy Roman emperor has his own particular, unique brand of the crazy.
