Man has always found a way to entertain himself.
>>151028592Snail? That’s a Frenchman!
>>151028604Except for the 14th century. Nobody had any fun in the 14th century, but thats a statistical anomaly.
>>151028648They tried, they had tourneys and such.
>>151027403>>151028697comics without waifus are not real comics
>>151028648Serbia collapsed in 14th century and forever. Not the greatest time to try and be a European power and an empire.
>>151029239Do you fellas ever think someone tried to fap to the female drawings or nah, too abstract.
>>151030197Solitude was incredibly rare, even the wealthy and Nobility would have servants on standby in their bedrooms.People in general jerked it a lot less.
>>151030197>You just know
>>151030271I'd say bestiality was probably more common than masterbation.
>>151027336I think he means drawn cartoons, i.e., comics.>>151027307I don't think they coddled children the way we do. A five year old girl had a doll. A ten year old girl didn't.
>>151027307People were smarter back then
>>151027307Jousting, literature, and the theatre were entertainment enough.
Comics are an american invention. It doesn't really work outside US culture.

>>151030197Try implies failure

>>151027307cool hat
>>151027307The word "cartoon" came from Renaissance Italy. It originally meant a charcoal sketch on paper that an artist would transfer to wet fresco to give him an outline of the painting he was making. So, cartoons are at least that old.
>>151037058not really
>>151027307What a regal fellow
>>151035438ancient Greeks invented both gay love and child love, usually combining the two

>>151033772Yeah i know, and she fucks poseidons bull in the story
>>151039216>inventNah, they’re the first ones who bothered to write it down. In the west, anyway.
>>151034551There were also a lot of rabbits depicted as knights or murderous beasts.The fact of the matter is that we don’t have the same cultural background anymore to understand the potential symbolism or significance of specific things at the time. Your glib explanation for the snail seems to make sense for this specific depiction, but the more you look through illuminated manuscripts, the more that falls apart.
>>151027307

>>151027336Why not?

>>151040702biblically accurate lady

>>151027307Did you know knights used to wear beanies on their helmets
>>151044453Well not really beanies, more like cloth fabrics
>>151044453>>151044466As I understand it it was intended to protect the bare metal from the sun.Also pure aesthetics.
What's your favorite and why?
>>151027307Depends, while there are no word bubbles or much division ebtween pieces, this releif shows Ashurbanipal taking part in a lion hunt in a sequential manner
>>151044536For me its 1485.Nothing beats sallet, visor, and bevor.
>>151044536For me its the Carolingian/Ottonian and 15th century knight
>>151040702>this shit again, Becky?>put those away. you're embarassing yourself.
