the wheelbarrow demon is awesome. He has a face on his belly and another one on his butt.

As we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And as you all know, it's been my intention to offer my readers a diverting image from the margins of a medieval manuscript at regular one-week intervals--but hell if I can't actually seem to stick to that schedule. I promise I'll be a good boy from here on out, really I will, just please don't let me end up like these poor souls from the margins of The Taymouth Hours (a fourteenth-century English book of hours currently held at the British Library):<br>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Actually, come to think of it the flaming-wheelbarrow-borne have a pretty sweet deal compared to the other damned souls in the margins in Taymouth. These guys on the left below have to make do with much more cramped quarters:<br>

<br>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Then again, a piggyback ride in a demon's basket is high cotton compared to these fellows, who don't even get the dignity of baskets:<br>
<br>

Then again again, I suppose it doesn't matter whether you get folded up into little ball and carried over a demon's shoulders or if you get a pimped out flaming wheelbarrow. In the end, it's straight into the hellmouth for everybody:<br>

Though one wonders where the demon in the far right margin thinks he's going with that one sinner, exactly. Apparently, even Satan has a problem with employees helping themselves to the inventory. In his defense, I suppose the demon could always say, "Hellloooo, demon here, remember? Personification of all sin and vice? That ring a bell?"<div>
