It always feels like they're being described to the artist one subject at a time.

"Draw a guy."

"OK."

"He's looking at a snail."

"Alright, I can fit that in."

"And he's being stabbed by a fox."

"(sigh) ...might have given him a different expression if you'd led with that."

Look medieval artists, art is hard, but surely an expression could be drawn that's a bit more shocked than "oh bother, I appear to have been stabbed."

It needs more butt/fart jokes to be truly authentic.

The snail isn't actually a snail, it's a cherished mentor known as Snelli "The Snail" Lesnail.

This is so wrong, it should be the fearsome snail running the human through.
