Surprise amputation face
He's happy cause he knows he's gonna be carried
only until his new legs grow in
It's to show that no horses were harmed in the drawing of this comic.
Grindr experience
Clearly, the author doesn't know how to draw horse legs.
I'd say it was Rob Liefeld, but the knight has way too few puches on him.
Took me way too long to understand horse legs = wheels
The spiral staircase is going the wrong way
How so?
Good question! It's because in this case the invaders (coming from below) will have their shields on the side the enemies are coming from. The defenders (coming from above) will have the shield facing away from their opponents
So spiral staircases usually went to the left because of that? I'm not sure that applies here, because this is just a single tower with a single room in it, not a part of a larger castle.
Not always. They were often used for decoration (especially with single towers like this, like you said), but it's still a fun fact that I enjoy
Yes. Is this the main reason they were built? Arguably, no and here’s why
That source even says it's arguable. I would hardly use that as proof that it's a myth
