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.

And now for something more cheerful

    i’m pretty sure the people making this cartoon are the same as the fairly odd parents people, but it’s a different show. it comes on jetix or something.
    i’m not a fan of the it, really but the characters are cute enough.

    Bob Boyle, the creator of Ying Yang Yo, used to do the art direction for the Fairly Oddparents, which is probably where some of the style crossover comes from. And, as expressed already by 5 other people, Cosmo and Wanda were what I first though too. Good times.

    Although I too am definitely getting Fairly Odd Parents, you have to admit prety much all kid shows these days are done in the exact same style. Flat color, heavily varying line, huge heads, little bodies, everything bright. What happened to Doug??

    Yep that’s the name of the children’s TV show, I was thinking the tattoos looked like the cartoon characters myself.
    My daughter used to watch that TV show, I hated it!

    You’ve pretty much explained Doug. Except for the thick outline 🙂
