Friday Woodcut Caption Contest #3
Inkhorn and Truewit are in the middle of a grading-and-plagiarism-detection nightmare of unprecedented proportions (but aren't they all?), while Simplicius has self-imposed an internet blackout for other reasons not to be revealed here (because I don't know them, though I have my guesses). So it has fallen to me again to post our latest woodcut for your captioning pleasure. And here it is: (Wing D194) Now, back to all that real work I mentioned a few posts ago. Oh, who am I kidding, I'll be back periodically to see what you've come up with. |

The only thing I can think is that this is a picture of me, surrounded by students *already* up in arms about their grades -- and I only posted them last night. Or, actually, early early this morning.
I don't have a caption, just a sense of despair. Unless that figure in the foreground, pointing, is a distant ancestor of Nelson from the Simpsons, saying "Ha ha."

Has something unspeakable been done to this person's fingers? Look at them, they're all broken and weird-looking. And is this the black eyes and puffy face of someone who's had the crap kicked out of them?

I've been trying REALLY hard to come up with a caption for this one, and it's just not quite coming to me.
All I've got is that the guard up at the front is remarking on what a good view they have up the guy's coat skirts. . . but of what? Whatever it is, that's perhaps why the women are sitting right there in the front row, leaning forward.
Can anyone take it from there?

Wait, how about this:
"If you think his WRITINGS are seditious, you should see what he's got under that coat!"
(Trying, I am.)

The left panel on this Van Eyck is more of a visual pun than an actual caption. But it (and everything like it) seems relevant. Along with LL's peeping ladies... we may be getting somewhere.

(the pointing figure, bottom right):
"Christ, would someone please give this man his manicure?"
