"Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy," is a 2016 work by artist Ben Frost. This piece is a vibrant and playful exploration of popular culture, merging the recognizable cartoon characters Ren and Stimpy from the Nickelodeon series "The Ren & Stimpy Show" with a graphic design motif derived from a medical epinephrine injection box. This juxtaposition of the whimsical and the serious, the childish and the clinical, creates a humorous and thought-provoking piece, typical of Frost's artistic style.
