@Wen isn't it ionic, don't you think? Anyways, the iony is lost on me.
@freshstart Not sure it is ironic. More a laugh at the apparent need for a cartoonist to have knowledge of architecture of the time and buildings (they used both styles) to make a joke. I think@he was poking fun.

@Wen And isn’t it Ionic?
Don’t you think?
A little too Corinthian...
And yeah, I really do think...
It’s like ten thousand columns when all you need is a roof
It’s a fluted shaft, that’s the ultimate proof
It’s the good advice that Caesar didn't take
Who would’ve thought? It figures!

Edit: with apologies to Alannis Morisette and anyone here I may have confused

@freshstart @Wen
😂
Thanks, that's brilliant!
