Fosbury Flop
If you're going to leap over us, it's better for both of us if you don't look at our faces.

From blog post:
The people who go to high places only ever look up, and that's how it should be. They don't have to look down at our faces covered in frustration and jealousy. Just do a Fosbury Flop over us. That's the idea in the drawing.
This jump is called the Fosbury Flop in English because it was apparently invented by a Mr. Fosbury. I liked the way the characters looked together so I just made that the title. You have to love the little dot (interpunct) in the middle. I love MO'SOME TONEBENDER's song, "Unhappy・New-age", so that's probably what influenced me. I add it in whenever I get a chance to when coming up with a title. (Example 1 »/Example 2 ») I don't get that many opportunities to do it, so I'm really moved that I got to this time. Anyone else would think this is a trivial thing to get so obsessed over, but this is one of the things that gives me motivation.
I was a little worried about how this outfit with lots of skin showing would come out in the end, but I think it turned out just right, without being particularly naughty. Also, Twitter's changes made me less hesitant to draw tall images and it's been more influential than I imagined. I look forward to more from now on.
It would be nice to be the one doing the leaping over. Not over anyone in particular, but more like beating your own records. Let's do our best.
