    He looks kinda old in this painting. According to Ovid, Narcissus died when he was 16. This guy doesn’t look like a 16 year old child, he looks like a grown adult.

      Chronic onliner and unhinged ERPer wants the half-naked person in the painting to be a minor, more news at 11.

        Drag questions the decision to draw a half naked child at all. John Woodrow Kelley has some explaining to do.
