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.

    Tokyowars – it’s from The Walrus and the Carpenter, by Lewis Carroll. It was in Through The Looking Glass (the Alice book after “~in Wonderland”).

    I guess not #54. He would probably not be able to talk decently.
    Anyway, it looks funny and cute. ^^
    But I hope he doesn’t wear that all the time.

    The Inuit tribes used to wear tusks through their labrets to look like a walrus. It was said to give them good luck while hunting.

    @toast: the book I was confusing it with was “Letters from a long lost uncle” by Mervyn Peake. Lots of Walrus action in there too! (Albiet slightly less popular pop culture references…lol)
