This Ryan Roberts Toy photography series depicts the classic figures you all knew from childhood in some weirder situations. Curious George seems to have gotten a little too curious and murdered his human friend 'The Man in the Yellow Hat.' Meanwhile, Snoopy has gotten a little too demanding and set up quite the audition stage where he is auditioning all-yellow characters, including Big Bird. Homer Simpson seems to have eaten one-too-many donuts and passed out in the living room of the Simpson’s home.
What is striking about the photography series is taking a character from a specific situation you recognize them from and inserting them into an entirely different realm, as we see with Wonder Woman gazing around the parking lot of K-Mart. The fact that these scenes are made using toys, however, adds a lighthearted tone.
