Gettin' his nails did. Good for you lion

“My, I bet you monsters lead interesting lives. I said to my girlfriend just the other day - Gee, I'll bet monsters are interesting, I said. And I'll bet you meet a lot of interesting people, too. I'm always interested in meeting interesting people. Now let's dip our patties in the water!”

Maybe, originally it was a perfect rendition of a lion but a hundred years later, it got rubbed off and some old lady thought she'd fix it.

It's happened before!

No pictures from 15th century so there's no definitive proof lions DIDN'T look like that hundreds of years ago...

For someone who's never seen a lion, that's pretty accurate.

"You need to paint the King of Beasts."

"...I'm going to allow this."

I like the way he captured my eyes.

That's an uncanny resemblance to my wife in the morning.

It's supposed to be, dude is pulling a thorn or something out of it's paw.

One day toward evening, when he was seated with the brethren to hear the sacred lessons read, a lion suddenly limped into the monastery. The other monks fled at the sight of the beast, but Jerome greeted him as a guest. The lion showed him his wounded foot, and Jerome called the brothers and ordered them to wash the animal’s feet and to dress the wound carefully. When they set about doing this, they found that the paw had been scratched and torn by thorns. They did what was necessary, and the lion recovered, lost all his wildness, and lived among the monks like a house pet.
