Judith cutting off the head of Holfernes has been an almost common motif throughout art history--more recently, Gustav Klimt did one, and so did Edvard Munch (he of 'The Scream'). What's up with that, anyway? Offhand, I can't think of a female artist who became, er, enamored of the subject, even though it would seem to be a tailormade theme for feminists.

I think it's the times . . .
In our world, we get to see
comic book heros

drawn by different guys
(like Miller and Ross). Back then,
it was the Bible.
