Detail from Roy Lichtenstein, I love you but, 1964, private collection

Oh Jeff…I love you too…but… I just can’t suppress who I am anymore, you have to understand.”

“You’re making me think you’re some alien in disguise, Lucy. Just spit it out.”

“I… I’m a nudist… I’ve always been a nudist. And I just can’t stand living in this clothed society anymore. I cannot bear to mask myself in suffocating fabrics any longer!”

“…”

“Jeff? Are you there?”

“There’s a nudist community about 21km away. You start undressing, I’m just getting gas.”
