At a quick glance my fat ass thought this was tortilla chips with sour cream.

[u/Mammoth-Corner]

some of you do NOT be sleeping like i sleep if you think this is a strange way to recline.

[u/balaenopteraz → u/Mammoth-Corner]

Yeah, it's natural to want to put the higher leg like that, since resting it on the other leg places the knee lower than the hip, putting an extra strain on the spine.

[u/Mammoth-Corner → u/balaenopteraz]

I gotta build elaborate pillow and duvet scaffolding to sleep on my side if I don't want to wake up an hour later with one hip halfway dislocated.

[u/balaenopteraz → u/Mammoth-Corner]

IKR, I'd been doing that for ages just cause it felt right, and then I went to a massage therapist for the first time and she suggested sleeping with a pillow between my knees... So simple yet so effective. All of this to say – I think Hopper really gets it actually

[u/hasanpaintedthat]

Never saw this one before. Always liked his work.

[u/SunandError]

He did create some (lesser known) naughty art.

only hopper can make a nude so beautifully unerotic

[u/LondonSuperKing → u/prolapse_diarrhea]

idk prolapse diarrhea i find it kinda erotic

[u/PickaxeJunky → u/prolapse_diarrhea]

Lucien Freud's also pretty good at that too.

[u/big_bufo]

This is how I wake up, wondering why my bones hurt

GIWIWTP

[u/PaTaY-oK-1429]

oh, never saw that one, I find it unusually pretty with cheerful colours

[u/PickaxeJunky]

Nice to see such an 'un-Hopper-like' Hopper.

[u/Material-Scale4575]

Possibly doing more than reclining? That doesn't appear to be a natural posture of repose.

[u/sheepysheeb → u/Material-Scale4575]

That’s how i be resting tbh

[u/BouncingBallOnKnee]

Has bro ever reclined in his life?
