"In Memory of the Late Mr. and Mrs. Comfort" is a photographic fable shot in 1995 for The New Yorker by uber photographic legend Richard Avedon.
It kind of reads like The Corpse Bride but in reverse: the decomposed one is the male counterpart of the relationship.

Considering that one half of the couple is in bare bones mode, it's really something, that after looking at a few photos, you start looking at the skeleton as an almost normal half of the couple. At times creepily touching, at others bittersweet sarcastic, even if the subject matter repulses you, you can't stop looking at it.
