17. Looking for 'hidden' objects/meanings brought me back to the time

I spent a more than a few hours looking at (online) "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch. I've seen several of his other works in museums in both Venice and Bruges, totally fascinating.

Anyway, I went to the artists web site (link in post #14) and this current cartoon pops up, along with others. If you click on the 'Continue Reading' link below the Beardos pic you end up with a much more highly pixelated version, where one can make out the labels (after a bit of magnification) of what I suspected to be gummies or pills.

The purplish ones close to his left hand are 'ROOFIES', the blue ones 'HIMS'. So the roofies no doubt are about the charge against him by a woman who claims he 'took advantage' of her by slipping her drugs, and I had to look this up but 'HIMS' are for ED.

This guy is good!
