Porn Star Man & Porn Star Woman (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In Brief Lives, Dream and Delirium search for their missing brother with the help of Ruby Elisabeth DeLonge, their chauffeur. After driving many miles and visiting the house of the recently deceased Bernie Capax, Ruby suggests stopping for the night in a hotel and resuming their search in the morning.

As Ruby readies herself for bed she flips on the tv and there is an adult film on the television.

These two characters are the actors in that adult film.

They appear in Sandman # 44, on page 12, in panel 3. They are on the television.

Max did a wonderful job with these characters. I like that they are very beautiful and crisp and perfect….as I imagine actors in these types of films would appear. I also like that the portraits lack color, which gives the sense that they are not characters that embody the “real” world, but from the television.
