Poor one on the top right is missing a tooth. 😢

The one on the left looks like it’s being eaten by a symbiote.

remember when you're posting in public (also applies to direct messages this is NOT a secure channel any more than using incognito browser) you're also talking to the crime skeleton, there is literally always a cop in the room, with modern data collection it doesn't help if only 5 users saw the joke

Now that is a fascinating anachronism given that some scholars are—or at least have been historically—of the opinion that Aesop's Fables were one of the sources of inspiration for Reynard.

It will never not amuse me that Disney had to fuse Reynard with Robin Hood to make him into a palatable protagonist.

Don Bluth, meanwhile, ended up sidelining him into a minion of an original antagonist.

Reynard was very much a villain protagonist (if not a pure antagonist) but in some versions and places he came to be seen as an antihero triumphing over the corrupt clergyman and incompetent nobility that serfs and peasants were largely powerless against.

But what we know of the Reynard Cycle is probably just a fraction of what was available during the medieval and early modern periods, and the tales did indeed evolve across time and place to reflect the changing political and ecclesiastical concerns of the people and poets.

There was certainly an element of morality included with the satire—one of the oldest known Reynard tale to my knowledge was written by a monk to protest corruption in the clergy, after all. Even later versions like The Nun’s Priest’s Tale had a moral regarding pride and vanity.

Yeah! And what's with all the swords? They're supposed to be wielding six-shooters!

That is accurate, and actually a fair bit darker in most versions. Reynard pisses on Isengrim the wolf's kids and rapes his wife.
