i know robert crumb is a serial rapist but i think there are very few artists who can represent psychosexual self loathing with the same amount of visceral intensity as him and i can't help but love a lot of his art

There is much debate as to why there are so many knights fighting snails in medieval marginalia, We can wonder about it today and still be half right! nobody knows.

IMO the monks were just doodling and liked the theme enough, Or maybe, like the rabbits, they used to be rabid aggresive animals...

An illustration from the Clavis Artis, an alchemical manuscript attributed to Zoroaster, published in Germany in the late 17th or early 18th century. The "snake-woman" motif is a rare figure in alchemical texts and may represent the mercurial serpent or a mediator between body and spirit #alchemy
