This Is Me in Paradise

Akira Toriyama's "This is me in paradise." is an exploitable panel from Dr. Slump Volume 9, Chapter 112 "The Midnight Bombers," page 132. Tori-bot—Toriyama's manga avatar—sits at a table reading a magazine and smoking, surrounded by senbei crackers, cola, and a model car kit. The caption frames relaxed creator comfort as paradise.

Fan redraws multiplied after Akira Toriyama's death in March 2024 as tribute art, swapping Tori-bot for other artists or characters in the same lounging pose. The format re-entered August 2026 discourse through new redraw posts and a Know Your Meme submission August 28. It sits in the broader redraw meme family alongside Akakichi no Eleven and similar panel swaps.

thisismeinparadise.com can host a redraw studio—blank Tori-bot table templates, snack-and-prop swap layers, and export presets for tribute posts crediting Dr. Slump Chapter 112 without re-scanning manga pages.

toriyamaredraw.com fits a Toriyama tribute vertical: timeline of post-2024 paradise-panel variants, artist credit galleries, and guides distinguishing Tori-bot from Dragon Ball characters newcomers confuse.

drslumpparadise.com works as a niche Dr. Slump hub—panel context for "The Midnight Bombers," cross-links to other manga redraw entries in the corpus, and weekly roundups of August 2026 submissions with fair-use crops.
