More disturbed by the Penis nipples actually ๐Ÿ˜จ

The ones hanging below the giant chestmouth and nostriclavicles?

[โ€“] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 10 points 4 months ago

I think those might be chin nipples, you know for the young cyclops babies to suckle on.

[โ€“] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I think you mean "horny."

I think the artist might've been toying around with a little too much nightshade

Another quick cyclops question for you: twelve inch long nipples, yea or nay?

[โ€“] Deceptichum@quokk.au 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Isn't it theorised that an elephant/mammoth skull was the inspiration for the cyclops?

And who has long floppy ears?

And are those nipples protruding from the bottom lip possibly tusks?

This must be a drawing of an elephant.

It's hypothesized but not evidenced that dwarf elephant skulls on Sicily might have caused locals to fantasize about cyclopes.

Paleoartist Mark Witton has a good article encouraging skepticism of this conclusion, though. Worth a read.

What's the source of the drawing?
