Marginalia...
***************************************
No part of the story, this is what is know as marginalia.
We have had a lot of rain this summer, and with the rain, the snails came. So I had to build a Lego snail, and picked a simple Lego design from set 11011. And changed it a bit as I always do (other colours).
Back in the days when each copy of a book had to be written by hand, the writers and illuminators would get bored too, and would doodle and write in the margins... Comments about how cold it was, and how much their hand hurt. And drawings... Boy could they draw!
Those are known as marginalia. And like the toilet doodles in art school, those doodles were done on the level of skill of those who made them.
Marginalia often depict rather grotesque scenes, monkeys, rabbits and snails doing battle in armour and what not.
So when I had a snail and knights at hand...
Now a brick build bunny, hare or rabbit...
