Description Alex and Jack enjoy Easter dinner with the Washingtons. Alex is a bit curious as to why they're using ham to celebrate Passover (Easter is called Pascal, or Passover, in all non-English speaking countries). He's used to eating a traditional seder with the family of his favorite childhood teacher.

In the second panel, Alex is saying, "Oh, you know, the usual: Lamb, boiled eggs, charoset, matzah..."

Yes, I included Washington's household slaves (and actually, they're probably dower slaves belonging to Martha). They were part of reality back then, so to blatantly omit them would be disrespectful to them. And Washington was still learning that slavery is bad, so cut him some slack.
