Chris says: "The artists of the Middle Ages painted allegories, we
say. What really happened was that they saw more clearly than we
do, and painted what they saw - angels and devils, beasts, and half-
human monsters like me."
I wonder if he's thinking of images like this:

Apparently St Christopher was sometimes described as cynocephalic.
I doubt that Chris' test-tube included any dog (wolf?) DNA, but you
never know ...
