In ''Literature/TheLastHero'', the illustration of Rincewind strapped into a bizarre centrifuge device as space-flight training (and very clearly about to puke) is posed as a clear pastiche of the Vitruvian Man. Designed by Leonard of Quirm, of course, whose notes add that this would also be an interesting study of human musculature, if Rincewind had any.
** Leonard's entry in ''The Discworld Companion'' is illustrated with a Vitruvian Man set against the world turtle rather than a circle.
