Hey All,
So what got everyone into body inflation? Specifically was it seeing a certain TV show or movie?
For me, it was seeing Inspector Gadget inflate his coat up at the pull of his buttons. I wish he could keep it inflated all the time for once. haha.
Second to this, when I saw the movie McHales Navy (I think), seeing buddy accidentally overinflate his drysuit got me into the whole idea of drysuits inflating. As such, I've collected a few neorprene based suits that have considerable size and capacity.
I watched a lot of cartoons growing up and as such, the inflation gags in the classic Disney shorts "The Art of Self Defense" and "The Window Cleaners" were the earliest stepping stones for me.
