It’s been a long time since I have had the energy to make comics. A lot of things have happened (pandemic being in the mix). Now I’m back to studying historical views of the human body and health and sometimes making drawings about them. I am fascinated by the Four Humours concept, which dominated Western human history for a very long time. I plan to make comics about each humour and what they are linked to. A ‘humour’ in this case is a bodily fluid! Mmmm!
I made this drawing after a woodcut from Physiognomische Fragmente zur Beförderung der Menschenkenntnis und Menschenliebe (1775-1778) by Johann Kaspar Lavater (original image posted below for reference).
