Last days of decrepit underwear perverts
Gilles Barbier's genius photo "L'Hospice" depicts the final days of funnybook underwear-perverts -- a saggy Wonder Woman wheels Captain America along on his gurney, Superman leans on his walker... Link (via Geisha Asobi)
Update: Andy sez, "Mr. Barbier's works are actually life-size sculptures, not photos. They were shown at the Whitney Museum in NYC in 2003 as part of an exhibition on how American culture influenced artists worldwide."
