It always feels like they're being described to the artist one subject at a time.

"Draw a guy."

"OK."

"He's looking at a snail."

"Alright, I can fit that in."

"And he's being stabbed by a fox."

"(sigh) ...might have given him a different expression if you'd led with that."

Almost perfect! It's missing only a knight riding a lobster.

It needs more butt/fart jokes to be truly authentic.

This is so wrong, it should be the fearsome snail running the human through.

Look medieval artists, art is hard, but surely an expression could be drawn that's a bit more shocked than "oh bother, I appear to have been stabbed."

The snail isn't actually a snail, it's a cherished mentor known as Snelli "The Snail" Lesnail.
