I think I've mentioned here before how much my little boy loves the cartoon character Shimajiro the tiger.
Well, the latest care parcel from Ming came with a new Shima-chan cartoon that tops even the famous 'talking poo' episode. In this one Shimajiro takes a Fantastic Voyage-style trip in a submarine through a little boy's colon in order to show him the inner workings of the body. It is bizarre and kind of wonderful at the same time, with a typical Japanese frankness that beggars belief.
The 'come to the light' moment as Shima's sub exited the colon was a particular joy to me.
