Made me think of Zerlina in Mozart's Don Giovanni:

Rage at me, kill me,
do what you want with me

But then, my dear Masetto...
let's make peace

Hit me, dear Masetto,
strike your poor Zerlina

I'll take your blows like a lamb

You can pull out my hair
You can gouge out my eyes

Then I'll kiss your dear hands

-- though Zerlina was a manipulative little witch who knew exactly what she wanted, not a whining no-hoper.

Byzantine icons had these exaggeratedly long fingers, I don't know why. See for example

So the artist is proably trying to copy a genuine original image, possibly this actual one.  more»

Nice handwriting. Almost looks like a real inky pen too.

And I like the 'crescendo' underlining of 'never'.…  more»

@Orinoco:

She said its really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning wont be lost or misconstrued
But Ill repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free

Great picture!
This could have been my Mum on the Norfolk Broads.

Orinoco, I think the idea was that a cuckolded husband would sprout horns on his forehead so that everyone could see he was a victim.…  more»

@long time listener --
Yup, smacks of homework to me. Or a shy man dreaming of slipping someone a note but he'll never dare to do it and crumples it up instead. (Yup, that was me aged about 13.)…  more»

@orinoco a while back --

There's a man outside on an old motorbike with a hammer.

Or you could put the record player in the bathtub, as with misbehaving toasters.  more»
