A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Tutti-Fucking-Fruitti!

The tattoo below (c/o Pooner) of Captain Spaulding by Allen Fielder at Smokin’ Guns in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Maybe Sid Haig will get to see it in person because he occasionally works at the tattoo conventions — here’s Sid and Will Robinson (photo: Terragar) at a recent one.
