Date: 2012-07-11 10:49 pm (UTC)I figured the answer was somewhere between "no way to know (without a time machine)" and "it depends." I was just wondering if the person long ago came up with the curlew-cat by a similar method of make-it-up as I do when I come up with something like my gryphon snail, or my Long Bird monster...
Also, the thought occurred to me this morning that cat-curlew's magical green "friend" is so verdant and jolly, that he's almost in the same category of "magical scat" goody-goody happiness as unicorns pooping rainbows...
Not to mention unicorn poop cookies (or biscuits, if you prefer) to feed your children.

So who are we to judge Medieval humor sensibilities (at least in art -- I reserve all right to get judgmental when it comes to kicking the resident dwarf for laughs)?
