 Each piece of history is presented as a simple vignette, usually depicting a few simply-drawn characters arguing and making war, over and over again.Generally, a single figure is meant to stand in for an entire group (i.e., a single Caesar-like caricature for the entire line of Roman Emperors).There is very little spoken dialogue; instead, most of the cartoon is accompanied by a bouncy piano-driven score, which frequently changes style to suit the particular historical era.
