Since economic inflation is money becoming more worthless and therefore de-facto vanishing, it would be better represented by body deflation. That is - character becoming increasingly more gaunt and skinny, until only pile of bones remain (or if cartoonish, until he becomes thinner than fishing line and collapses into a point). Dunno what sort of weirdo would use images of starving people (e.g. victims of nazi death camps) for sexual gratification. --User 8496351 (talk) 07:56, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
