This is a follow up to my previous post about Bakhtin’s book Rabelais and His World here Puck is applying love potion to a fortunate dreamer. Below is an image of the play within the play, which I always associate with Puck’s secret visits, probably because both shapes occur in MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. Both these cartoons were on the same page with the one in the next post, a truly classic carnival image.
