So, it's some naked boys. OK. But look at how they're standing, what they're doing, and you realize they aren't just two naked boys. The one on the left is Adam from the Sistine Chapel.

That is, this is a cross-over. This is Mulder and Frank Black collaborating on a case; this is Beverly Crusher visiting Deep Space 9; this is Addison Montgomery showing back up at Seattle Grace to fuck with Meredith's life. (Oh, wait, that last one's canon.) It's specifically an 'in-universe' crossover, between two figures by a single "author," but it's a cross-over none the less, and is designed to show us something new about the original texts by recontextualizing them.
