Ah, you just never know...

Does that show up okay?
I usually don't paste a full page as the thumbnail / lead image, so please let me know if it's hard to see.

Anyway, that's Dutch Flemish, mad-woman character Esther Verkest, with my earlier introduction being here.

I find her a crazy, counter-cultural figure that vastly needs more translations in to English, not unlike good ol' Henk!

That's very similar to an episode of love sex and robots.

It's a classic theme I would think, for example via "A wolf in sheep's clothing," and probably via legends / archetypes that go wayyy back.

Perhaps one takeaway might be-- much of our creativity and conceptual invention might be as old as the hills*, yet for the most part, the success in expressing such comes down to the skill of the narrator / artist.

Oof, that's probably the clumsiest thing I've ever written, but hopefully I'm making a shred of sense, there.

* English expression, not sure how many other languages have that or similar
