Geeksplosion.
I discovered this comic this morning while researching the history and uses of masks in Greek theatre.
An interesting side note, around fifth century BCE, there was Old Comedy which was the antithesis of the dialogue, where the actors wore grotesque masks and giant stuffed phalluses. They were later banned after Athens was take by Sparta in 404 BCE because of it's caustic satire and lack of moral restraint. Grrr!
