Yeah.
Well, if you look, I love...
drawings of like, say like lions, like a guy who saw a lion once and then tried to draw it two years later.
And then everyone thought like, oh, that's what lions look like.
And it always looks stupid.
It always looks insane.
It doesn't look anything like a lion.
And you saw that over and over again.
And especially, you know, when they started exploring Africa, when they started exploring the Americas, and they're seeing all of these animals that are nothing like anything that they've seen before, or they might be like slightly different versions.
Yeah, Rob just brought up a picture, an old picture of a lion, and the lion has a beard and a giant tongue that's sticking out.
It's cute.
They almost always have a man's face.
But you also got to remember this is a time when, back in the day with art, it really cannot be overstated how much abundance has an effect on art, because that guy only had enough materials to draw that lion once.
You know, like, he couldn't practice it over and over and over again.
He couldn't just go out and buy new pencils.
Like, he had a very limited, he had very little blue.
I drew the lion already.
You know what I watched recently?
The Yeti DuckTales episode.
Y'all remember that one?
