Nursing the Reptile

The third entry in our Inappropriate Carvings series is so wrong I think it trumps the first two installments. Why on Earth would you let a dragon get that close to you? And also, what is the dragon thinking? Doesn't he know he is not a mammal and therefore does not need to be fed that way? Or, what was the artist thinking when he carved this particular scene? I wonder how many people who visit this monument actually notice these figures. I had been here at least once before, and I never had, so this discovery made me giddy with elation. Yet the best one is still to come!

Yo empiezo a pensar que los problemas de drogas ya estaban muy extendidos en la edad media entre el gremio de los escultores.

Hahaha. Lo que pasa es que eran unos picarones :)

Pervertidos diria yo, por que un dragon le este mordiendo la teta a un agel no es de picaros, es de mentes enfermas.
