Good afternoon everyone,

Were you subscribed when Kerry did her fantastic episode on Judith and Holofernes in art and culture? Aaahhhh it was so good, here's just a preview:

Judith was a rich, beautiful widow whose town was under siege by the Assyrians (bad guys those Assyrians!). She dressed up, packed a kosher picnic basket with some wine, went down with her maid/sidekick to the enemy camp, and convinced the Assyrians they wanted to switch sides. The general, Holofernes, had his soldiers bring Judith to COUGH drink with him in his COUGH COUGH tent; she waited for him to get bladdered, called in her maid to hold him down, and took his sword off the wall and cut his head off. Hooray, victory against expansionist imperialists and dodgy creeper men alike!

You may recognize her from many paintings of her cutting a man's head off and/or with a man's head she has just cut off.

Anyway, today I have FRESH JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES CONTENT because Cat Graffam has recreated it in the elderly graphics software Kid Pix. Here's where they landed, I am genuinely impressed:

They have kindly made a video about it for us as well. I've watched the whole thing, totally fascinated, and I really do tend to give up on videos early:
