Topic: Why did Medieval people draw such strange doodles?
Just been browsing Twitter and amongst the stuff about Ukraine, from someone who makes some really funny Ukrainian versions of the 'Bayeux Tapestry' using an online site, I came across this link - https://twitter.com/culturaltutor/statu … tjojzwmvJA
It takes you through why the Medieval people draw such strange doodles and things in their manuscripts.
'These famous Medieval pictures - of half-human creatures, of odd cats, of implausible scenarios like jousting rabbits - have given rise to much laughter.
But what are they? What is this vein of Medieval humour rising through the centuries?
Their technical name is "drollery".'
Reminded me of this post by Alfred.

From a medieval manuscript, a cat dressed as a nun:
"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
"Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."
